investigation was resumed owing to the need to take additional investigative measures. The prosecutor criticised the investigation and ordered the following measures to be taken:
"...the examination of the investigation file demonstrates that the investigation is being conducted passively and that investigating and operational-search measures are of a formal nature. There is no control over the execution of the investigators' requests and orders. The decision to suspend the investigation was taken prematurely, without the necessary steps having been taken...
It is necessary that the investigation take the following steps:
- ...request information concerning the vehicles which left the premises of the Shali military commander's office on 2 April 2003;
- identify witnesses to the abduction from among the residents living near the place of the events;
...
- establish the identity of the second man who had been abducted with Artur Akhmatkhanov..."
51. On 18 June 2005 the Shali department of the Federal Security Service (the FSB) informed the investigators that they did not have any information concerning Artur Akhmatkhanov's involvement in illegal armed groups and that they had not conducted any special operations in the town on 2 April 2003.
52. On 28 June 2005 the investigators again questioned the second applicant, who stated that his acquaintance Mr Ali had told him that he had clearly seen military servicemen placing Artur Akhmatkhanov in an APC and that Mr Ali had already provided this information to the investigators. Then the applicant provided the investigators with detailed information about Ms R.L., who had witnessed the abduction of his son by military servicemen in APCs.
53. On 28 June 2005 the investigators also questioned the first applicant, who stated that her son had been abducted on 2 April 2003 by armed men in camouflage uniforms; that she had learnt from the witnesses that he had been taken away in an APC. The applicant described the events of the day of the abduction; her description was the same as the one provided to the Court (see paragraphs 7 - 15 above).
54. On the same date the investigators also questioned Mr Kh.I. who stated that late in the morning of 2 April 2003 he had been at home when his wife had told him that military servicemen had been conducting a special operation in their street. He had gone out on the street where in about 300 metres on the premises of the former medical storehouse he had seen a military APC with groups of armed servicemen in camouflage uniforms. A number of local residents had gone outside of their houses and witnessed the events. After that he had gone back in the house. Later, after the military had left, he had learnt that the servicemen had taken away Artur Akhmatkhanov and that his cap had been found afterwards in the storehouse area.
55. On the same date the investigators also questioned Mr S.A., who stated that at about 11.30 a.m. on 2 April 2003 he had been outside his house when he had seen a group of about thirty masked men in military camouflage uniforms surrounding the site of the former medical storehouse. The men had been armed with automatic weapons; they had had white stripes on the left sleeves of their uniforms. The men had arrived in two or three APCs and one other armoured military vehicle of a khaki colour. None of the vehicles had had registration or hull numbers. Then the men had opened fire on the storehouse. The witness had heard the men speaking among themselves in unaccented Russian. From their conversations he had understood that they were servicemen working in the police and that they were taking part in a special operation. The operation lasted for about two hours; local residents had not been allowed to access the cordoned-off area. The servicemen had detained Artur Akhmatkhanov on the site of the storehouse and taken
