PROCEDURE

1. The case originated in an application (No. 24297/05) against the Russian Federation lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms ("the Convention") by two Russian nationals, Ms Zara Mutsayeva (also known as Tepsurkayeva) and Mr Abdul-Khamit Tepsurkayev, on 9 June 2005.
2. Ms Zara Mutsayeva and Mr Abdul-Khamit Tepsurkayev were represented before the Court by lawyers of EHRAC/Memorial, a non-governmental organisation with offices in Moscow and London. Mr Abdul-Khamit Tepsurkayev died on 10 January 2006 and Ms Zara Mutsayeva ("the applicant") decided to pursue the application on behalf of herself and her disappeared son. The Russian Government ("the Government") were represented by their Agent, Mr G. Matyushkin, Representative of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights.
3. On 1 September 2005 the Court decided to apply Rule 41 of the Rules of Court and to grant priority treatment to the application.
4. On 11 March 2008 the Court decided to give notice of the application to the Government. Under the provisions of Article 29 § 3 of the Convention, it decided to examine the merits of the application at the same time as its admissibility.
