Security and Safety: Georgia

The war between Georgia and Russia started late summer and it has been three weeks since Russia agreed to withdraw their troops. But what of the people? So the big boys decided they're no longer going to bully on the playground; but do they think of what they've left behind? Do they care? Apparently not. Security has continued to deteriorate in Georgia; safety of the people in the Gori District bordering South Ossetia is in jeopardy. The people need to be protected.... They should not be victimized or tortured because of someone else's political agenda....

See the Human Rights Watch article here, which describes some of the incidences of violence occurring in this area.
