Russia is conducting ethnic cleansing in S. Ossetia

In an internationally broadcast television address, President Saakashvili has appealed to the world to help Georgia.

Russian tanks and troops, together with undisciplined and sadistic Ossetian and Chechen irregulars,  continue to move deep into his country, in defiance of the ceasefire.

Human Rights Watch has published details of ethnic cleansing that has been and continues to be carried out in South Ossetia by Russian forces together with armed thugs and rogue elements that have been unleashed against the Georgian civilian population.

HRW's Tanya Lokshina writes: " The remaining residents of these destroyed ethnic Georgian villages are facing desperate conditions, with no means of survival, no help, no protection, and nowhere to go."
