Court in North Ossetia rejects complaint of "Voice of Beslan" against poor investigation of Beslan terror act

Today, the Zaterechny Court of North Ossetia has dismissed the complaint lodged by the All-Russian NGO "Voice of Beslan" against the actions of the investigatory group in charge of studying the Beslan terror act.

"The Court has found our complaint ungrounded. No intention of the experts to breach the law was revealed. The activities of both the inspectors and the experts were found lawful," Ella Kesaeva, co-chair of the "Voice of Beslan", told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

Ms Kesaeva asserts that the examination of victims' bodies was held with violations, and inspectors had no right to instruct experts to make the exterior examination only.

Today, the members of the "Voice of Beslan" had their 2-month awaited meeting with Public Prosecutor of North Ossetia German Shtadler.

They asked him to clear out the circumstances of re-registration of their NGO, recognize this re-registration as illegal and restore their rights. Also, they assured him that the Beslan Prosecutor's Office of Beslan is prosecuting them. The Public Prosecutor has promised to deal with their problems.
