No evidence of authorities' involvement in abduction of Arian Erkel
There are no data testifying authorities' involvement in the disappearance of Arian Erkel, a Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) employee, in the summer of 2002 in Dagestan. Ali Temirbekov, press secretary of the republican prosecutor's office, announced it.
Such accusations were brought earlier by the MSF head, Jean-Herve Bradol, in his interview with the Western media.
