Strasburg has responded to appeals from Kabardino-Balkaria to give out militants' bodies to relatives
The European Court for Human Rights, acting on the basis of a complaint against Russia filed by 50 citizens of Kabardino-Balkaria, sent a so-called "communication" to the government of the Russian Federation (RF). This is the name of the document compiled by the European Court of the basis of a complaint received.
The complaint entitled "Khalimat Sabanchieva et al versus Russia" was submitted to the European Court on October 26 and November 15, 2005, by the relatives of the militants who perished on October 13 in Nalchik because of refusal of the RF authorities to give their bodies out to relatives for burial.
