Awful task of identifying loved ones at mass grave

Yes, yesterday was my second visit to the site and we watched face to be the whole procedure of 140 being exhumed from one of the civilian Grace, we believe that the civilians were buried individually. While soldiers 17 of them were found in a mass grave in any write. This person was wearing civilian clothes, two pairs of trousers, which gives you an idea of how Cold's people were back in March when they had no heat to electricity or water. And it seems that that's when this person was killed hands, tied behind the back. And then what happens, the procedure is that one of the investigators who is examining the body describes in a very matter-of-fact way, just list the condition of the body. It's closed. And someone with a colleague takes note, adjust from the description of the given. It is very, very plain words without trying to draw any conclusions. It was clear that this was somebody who had been tortured. I want get the details on that, because it's too unpleasant to Say but the investigative action at some point, most of the way and then said, we will stop this now for inside the body for further examination, that is the procedure nobody officially among these investigators. Anyway, it's willing to draw any conclusions and make a statement that this is about to do with them say that they needs to be a further investigation. But they're suddenly this one for the, the one that I saw. It was pretty clear to everybody present what that, that, that this was a person who had been tortured and it's certainly not the only one supposed to put in to stress that not all of the bodies have been tortured, many of them, it's believed were killed in the compartment of his team. During the Russian assault, on the city, I'm in in, in March, for a difficult task. People examine those bodies, Gulliver, and even for people like yourself having to witness. With people who survived those bombings earlier this year. What is life like now? Well, they haven't got any electricity or running water the receiving humanitarian Aid, some people of generators. That's one shop that's open but not very well. Of course, the town was very, very badly damaged in the fighting. And so many people's homes have been destroyed and referred two people who were living in it. In the basement, they will take that have hardly any phone connection. So they go up to the top of the hill, on the south end of town with, it's a bit of network and that you can hear people talking to that family members telling them that they're okay. A lot of people I had thought that seemed to be to think about how they could get out of that one thing to leave. And the main thing is they are just really really traumatized by what happened to that goes by the, fighting the compartment, and the treatment by the Russian soldiers. I spoke to several people who had been beaten. I spoke to one woman who had been arrested detained actually only for a few hours, but threatened with being sent to Siberia or Pat Stevens. Just for having one message on her phone that contains an insults and it was used in Ukrainian to insults Russian soldiers and we might do this in our report because we want to preserve people's dignity. But I think it's just telling you that a large proportion of the people that we interview including the men cry during the entities.
