Case No. 17321\/06<\/strong>
\n<\/a>Judgment date: 25 November 2010<\/strong><\/p>\n

The applicants lived in the village of\u00a0Gekhi-Chu, Chechnya. On the evening\u00a0of 6 February 2000, the village came\u00a0under fire from Russian military forces.\u00a0On 7 February military helicopters and\u00a0planes fired missiles on the village. The\u00a0applicants took shelter along with other\u00a0neighbours in the first applicant\u2019s basement.\u00a0When the firing stopped Russian\u00a0military servicemen ordered everyone\u00a0into the courtyard, took aside four young\u00a0men from the village (relatives of the applicants)\u00a0and took them to another address\u00a0on the same street. The applicants\u00a0heard gunshots and later found the four\u00a0men dead with gunshot and knife wounds\u00a0on their bodies, along with the body of a\u00a0fighter who had been shot earlier in an\u00a0exchange of fire. A criminal investigation\u00a0was instigated; however, it was suspended\u00a0in December 2000 due to a failure to\u00a0identify the culprits. The applicants did\u00a0not learn of the suspension until November\u00a02005. The applicants complained of\u00a0violations of Art. 2 (right to life) Art. 13\u00a0(effective remedy) and Art. 14 (discrimination).<\/p>\n
