his gun at her and ordered her to get back in the room. Then the applicant decided to call for help from the window; from there she saw several more armed men in camouflage uniforms in the yard and five or six VAZ-21099 cars. All the vehicles were silver-coloured, except for one, which was white. The intruders put Sarali into one of the cars and drove away.
54. On 5 July 2004 the investigators questioned the applicants' neighbour, Mr V.S. According to a partial copy of his witness statement furnished by the Government, he stated that on 1 June 2004 he had been at home when he had heard screams coming from the applicants' house. He went outside and heard the second applicant screaming. Then the witness went to the applicants' house. On the way there he saw a boy who told him that Sarali Seriyev was being taken away. A silver VAZ-21099 with tinted windows was in the street; its registration number was 516, region 95. Four masked men in camouflage uniforms, armed with 5.45 mm machine guns and APS pistols ("automatic Stechkin pistol") walked towards the car from the vegetable garden. Judging by the way the men moved, the witness concluded that they were about twenty to twenty-five years old; they were wearing white training shoes. Three men got in the VAZ-21099 car, whereas the fourth one pointed his gun at the witness and said in Russian: "Stop or I will shoot". After that the man also got into the car, which drove away down the street in the direction of the Rostov - Baku auto route. According to the witness, three more silver VAZ-21099 cars, a white VAZ-2110 car and a white minivan GAZ, all with tinted windows, had been parked next to the Seriyevs' house; these vehicles followed the VAZ-21099 in the direction of the Rostov - Baku motorway.
55. On an unspecified date the investigators questioned Mr M.K. who stated that in June 2002 he and other residents of Belgatoy had been on their way back to the village from haymaking. On the road they had seen some objects. Sarali Seriyev picked up one of them. The objected exploded in his hands. He was immediately taken to the nearest military checkpoint and from there to the hospital. As the result of the incident Sarali Seriyev had lost his hand.
56. On 8 July 2004 the investigators requested that the Road Traffic Department of the Chechnya Ministry of the Interior (the Chechnya GIBDD) informed them about the owners of vehicles which had numbers 516-95 on their registration plates. According to the response from the authorities, four persons, Mr I.B., Mr S.M., Mr L.Yu. and Mr Kh.V., owned cars with the numbers 516-95 on the plates.
57. In response to the investigators' request, in July 2004 the Shali district department of the Federal Security Service (the FSB) submitted that they had not conducted special operations on 1 June 2004 in Belgatoy and had no information which discredited Sarali Seriyev. A similar response was received in August 2004 from the Security Service of the Chechen President.
58. On 28 July 2004 the investigators forwarded a request to the military prosecutor's office of the UGA and the Shali district department of the interior (the Shali ROVD) asking whether they had conducted a special operation in Belgatoy on 1 June 2004 and whether Sarali Seriyev had been detained in either the UGA detention centre or the ROVD premises. According to their replies, these authorities had no information either concerning a special operation in Belgatoy on 1 June 2004 or detention of the applicants' relative.
59. In February 2005 the investigators forwarded requests to the Achkhoy-Martan district prosecutor's office and the Shelkovskoy district prosecutor's office asking the authorities to question the owners of the four vehicles. According to their responses, it was impossible to question Mr I.B. as his whereabouts had not been established; a neighbour of Mr Kh.V. had stated tha
