Russian authorities have asked the media for content that "proves" that Georgia acted violently in the South Ossetia region.

Vladimir Markin, spokesperson for the Investigative Committee for the Public Prosecution Office of the Russian Federation, said that the material that journalists provide would be used to look into criminal cases related to the conflict in the region.

The Committee opened a legal case against Georgia last week, accusing the country of the genocide of individuals of Ossetian ethnicity and killing in a manner that is dangerous to public security, reported gipp.ru.
