Home invasion, beating and rape of a woman on the outskirts of Shali, indiscriminate shooting in Tsotsin-Yurt, shelling near a refugee camp
August 29, 2001 *** Russian soldiers broke into a residential building on the outskirts of Shali (near the former tankodrome). The owner managed to escape, leaving behind his wife, born in 1981, the mother of an infant child, who had just been discharged from the maternity hospital the day before (last and first names are not given for ethical reasons). The soldiers attacked her and brutally beat her, and then raped her. At the same time, they demanded money, gold and vodka from their victim.
