Hamlet Guchmazov

Hamlet Guchmazov (born July 9, 1976) is an indicted Ossetian war criminal from the partially recognized Caucasian Republic of South Ossetia. Guchmazov was indicted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes related to his actions as the head of the Tskhinvali prison. Guchmazov would be indicted by the International Criminal Court due to these crimes on July 1, 2022. The ICC investigator, Karim Ahmad Khan, stated that the crimes showcased a wider nature of criminal acts, such as mass looting and destruction of Georgian villages, and the denial of the right of Georgians to return to their homes. Guchmazov was indicted alongside David Sanakoev, the South Ossetian Commissioner for Human Rights, and Mikhail Mindzaev the minister of foreign affairs.

Shortly after his indictment a grenade was thrown at Guchmazov's house, detonating and destroying his car. Guchmazov was not present at the time of the incident.
