Case No. 54765\/09<\/strong>
\n<\/a>Judgment date: 18 April 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

The applicant, Tamara Askhabova, had five\u00a0sons, two of whom had died during security\u00a0operations for their alleged involvement in\u00a0illegal activities. In 2009 her three remaining\u00a0sons were told to report to the police every\u00a0month. On 5 August 2009, armed men in\u00a0military uniforms arrived at their house and\u00a0took away her son Abdul-Yazit Ashkhabov. He\u00a0was never seen again. The applicant and her\u00a0relatives complained to the authorities and\u00a0waited outside the police station for three\u00a0days before being dispersed. They went to see\u00a0the Envoy for Human Rights and Freedoms in\u00a0Chechnya who had a telephone conversation\u00a0which led the applicant to believe that her son\u00a0was being detained and the Envoy was requesting\u00a0his release. Two weeks later, armed men in\u00a0military uniforms came to the house and asked\u00a0to see the bathroom, which had been a hideout\u00a0for one of her deceased sons known only to the\u00a0applicant and her detained son.<\/p>\n
