the situation and told him that B. Mairbek's car was on the wanted list, that Khizir should not have got into the car and that nothing could be done to assist the applicant and her husband in attempting to have their son released.
16. On 28 August 2001 the applicant's husband contacted the former Mayor of Grozny, Mr M., who went with him to the VOVD. An investigator from the department acknowledged that Khizir Tepsurkayev had been detained by the department and that he "would need to work with him".
17. Each day for two months, from morning until evening, the applicant and her husband waited for their son at the entrance to the VOVD. They asked everyone who entered or left the building about Khizir Tepsurkayev. Some of those who had also been detained during the special operation on 27 August 2001 and had been released later on, including the applicant's neighbour, told the applicant and her husband that they had heard the police mention the surname of Khizir Tepsurkayev in the halls of the VOVD.
2. Information submitted by the Government
18. The Government did not challenge most of the facts as presented by the applicant. According to their observations of 3 July 2008 "...the Urus-Martan district prosecutor's office opened criminal case No. 61008 in connection with the abduction in Urus-Martan of Kh. Tepsurkayev. The case was opened under Article 126 § 1 of the Criminal Code upon receipt of information from the office of the Envoy of the President of the Russian Federation for Ensuring Human Rights and Freedoms in the Chechen Republic..."
