European Court recognizes consideration of complaints about tortures in Chechnya inefficient

Today, the European Court for Human Rights has recognized the investigation of the application on tortures in Chechnya filed by Suleiman Medov, former resident of Grozny, to be inefficient. Arsen Sakalov, director of the Ingush NGO "Legal Initiative", who is helping the applicant, has informed the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent about it.

The evidences about tortures applied by employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in relation to Suleiman Medov, presented by him to the Court, have been recognized insufficient. Nevertheless, the Strasbourg Court has ruled that the Russian authorities had failed to adequately investigate Medov's applications. The state should pay out 5,000 euros of compensation to him.

In his complaint the applicant wrote to the European Court that he had been subjected to tortures in several places of his custody, including the notorious investigatory insulator "Chernokozovo".
