European Court acknowledged Russia guilty of disappearance of women in Chechnya

European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has acknowledged the Russian Federation guilty of kidnapping of two young residents of Chechnya in 2002 and 2003.

The Court in Strasbourg stated that Russia had not provided a proper investigation in order to make clear what had happened to two Chechen girls and in this way caused their relatives more suffering.

The resolution of the Court runs that for both girls have not been found up to the moment "taking into consideration the situation in Chechnya, they are most probably no longer alive", Deutsche Wellе writes.

European Court sentenced Russia to paying a total compensation sum of 321 thousand euros to the missing girls' families.
