Provisional list of victims in South Ossetia: Name, Cause of Death, Burial Place
Non-governmental commission for investigation of war crimes in South Ossetia and help to civilian victims has published a provisional list of residents of South Ossetia killed during the days of Georgian aggression Aug 7-12, 2008. The commission comments that the list is provisional, since identification of bodies and sites of burial is very time-consuming: many bodies are largely fragmented due to the nature of weapons used against residential areas; many people could not properly bury their relatives and neighbors during the continuing military action — they often buried them in their backyards or along roadsides. Thus only those whose identity was confirmed are in the list. So far, there is 311 names with a short description of the cause of death and place of burial.
REGNUM publishes the list of the victims in South Ossetia as for Sep 4, 2008 (see the Russian-language version). The list is going to be updated.
