Documented circumstances

Doga Tsatishaev, born in 1933, was killed on 8 April 1995, according to Memorial’s investigation. The report records a sequence of two separate shootings.

According to the investigators, Tsatishaev was wounded in the head by fire from an armoured vehicle after speaking with soldiers aboard it. He then reached shelter on Sharipova Street, where he was shot again at close range and his body was burned. His sons and other local witnesses provided testimony, and the entry cites a death-certificate reference.

Editorial detail: the narrative text of the report contains a numbering inconsistency in one reference to this incident. This page follows the definitive numbered victim register, Appendix 3, which records Doga Tsatishaev at entry no. 90.
