Case No.\u00a025385\/04<\/strong>
\nJudgment date: 15 January 2009<\/strong><\/p>\n

In June 2004, the applicant\u2019s husband\u00a0was apprehended (together with another\u00a0man) by four armed men. The applicant\u00a0alleged that the armed men were in fact\u00a0FSB officers. Following a checkpoint\u00a0stop when the captors were unable to\u00a0produce identity documents, all six men\u00a0were detained by the Department of Interior\u00a0(ROVD) but were subsequently\u00a0released following confirmation by the\u00a0District Prosecutor that the four captors\u00a0were indeed FSB officers and the detention\u00a0was authorised. The applicant\u2019s husband\u00a0has not been seen since. The applicant\u00a0complained of violations of Arts. 2\u00a0(right to life), 3 (prohibition of inhuman\u00a0treatment), 5 (right to liberty) and 13\u00a0(right to an effective remedy).<\/p>\n
