Russian Peacekeepers Torture and Kill 25 Year-old Man in Abkhazia


Tbilisi.21.04.05.Media News. At the weekly meeting between four sides in Chuburkhingi, the participants discussed the previous week’s events and noted that the situation in the conflict zone was peaceful.


The new commander in chief of peacekeeping forces, Sergei Chaban, was also presented at this meeting.


The Georgians, however, demanded an immediate investigation into the murder of 25 year-old Lasha Bigvava in the village Gomuri.
Russian peacekeepers took Lasha Bigvava, who was the son of the village governer, from his home, tortured him and finally killed him. Earlier, Bigvava and some other men had a verbal confrontation with the Russian troops, after which they came to his house.


The Georgian military observer in the conflict zone Valeri Jafaridze told Media News that this murder will be investigated by a four-sided investigation group.
The next four-sided meeting will take place in a week as scheduled.
