Nov. 20 - Amnesty International is calling for an investigation into alleged human rights abuses blamed on both sides in the recent conflict between Georgia and Russia.

Just over three months after the short war ended, the non-governmental organisation has published a report claiming that more than 20,000 Georgians are unable to return to their homes in South Ossetia. The group is accusing all parties involved of failing to take the necessary measures to protect their civilians during the conflict. Basmah Fahim reports.
