m Nenkayev would be taken to a prosecutor's office and left.
26. Some time later the door opened again and the third applicant was ordered to rise. Somebody grabbed the blindfolded and handcuffed third applicant by the collar and escorted him downstairs and then outside. In the street he was put in the back seat of a car and two persons sat beside him. The car was rather high and the third applicant assumed that it was a UAZ vehicle. The car drove for about fifteen minutes. Then it stopped and the third applicant was taken out and put on the ground, face down. His handcuffs were removed and he was ordered to lie still for ten minutes. After the vehicle had left, the third applicant removed the adhesive tape from his eyes and saw that it was dark in the street. His service machine gun was lying nearby, but his pistol was missing.
27. At 3 a.m. on 9 June 2002 the third applicant returned home.

The latter had been released the following day.
B. The search for Muslim Nenkayev and the investigation
1. The applicants' account
29. On 8 June 2002 the first applicant visited the local administrative authority to ascertain his missing sons' whereabouts. He talked to Mr L.G., a deputy head, and Mr K., an official of the authority. Both officials stated that the applicants' relatives had been detained by federal troops. Two months later, however, Mr L.G. and Mr K. retracted their earlier statements.

About a month after Muslim Nenkayev's arrest, the first applicant talked to another deputy head of the local administrative authority, Mr M., who told him that Muslim Nenkayev had been detained by the Federal Security Service ("FSB"), the Main Intelligence Department ("GRU") and servicemen of the Urus-Martan military commander's office, and then taken to GRU headquarters.
31. On 15 or 20 July 2002 the first applicant talked to Mr L.-A.G., an FSB officer living in Urus-Martan, who told him that representatives of federal forces, namely the GRU, had been involved in the arrest of the Nenkayev brothers.

The applicants referred to the facts of the kidnapping of Muslim Nenkayev and the third applicant and asked for assistance and details of the investigation. Mostly their enquiries remained unanswered, or only formal replies were given according to which the requests had been forwarded to various prosecutor's offices "for examination".
