The event has been organized to protest Russia’s use of cluster bombs in Georgia, just three months after 107 nations agreed to ban this indiscriminate weapon at the Dublin Diplomatic Conference on Cluster Munitions. Human Rights Watch has confirmed that Russian aircraft dropped RBK-250 cluster bombs, each containing 30 PTAB 2.5M submunitions, on the town of Ruisi in the Kareli district of Georgia on August 12, 2008. Three civilians were killed and five wounded in the attack. On the same day, a cluster strike in the centre of the town of Gori killed at least eight civilians and injured dozens, according to Human Rights Watch. |

Jump To Comment: 1It's good to know of such events but could they be posted in advance as they must be organised sometime before the event and the information should be available with the organisers.
Thanks,
