ty papers. The armed men examined them and ordered Vakha Abdurzakov to rise and took him to the entrance door. When the first applicant begged them not to take her son away, they replied that she should "thank" her neighbours.
13. The armed men pushed the first applicant into a room and blocked its door with a refrigerator. Then they left the house taking Vakha Abdurzakov with them.
14. The second applicant unblocked the door and let his wife out of the room. She ran into the street and noticed two UAZ vehicles going towards the town centre. Then she saw two APCs parked nearby. When she had almost reached them they drove away.
15. In the morning of 25 October 2002 the applicants and their neighbours found bloodstains on the road which led from the applicants' house to Titov Street, where traces of UAZ tyres were visible.
16. The applicants concluded that those who had abducted their son were Russian servicemen because they had freely moved around the town during the curfew, had driven military vehicles and had spoken Russian without an accent.
(b) Money demanded from the applicants
17. Two or three days before 25 October 2002 Ms Yu., an inhabitant of Urus-Martan, had visited the applicants and told them that Russian law enforcement agencies had been told that their son was participating in illegal armed groups and had been planning to detain him. Ms Yu. had said that she would prevent Vakha Abdurzakov's arrest if the applicants paid her 400 United States dollars (USD). The applicants had declined her offer as they were convinced that their son had not been involved in any illegal activities.
18. A few days after Vakha Abdurzakov's disappearance Ms Yu. again visited the applicants and told them that their son had originally been kept in the Urus-Martan temporary department of the interior ("VOVD") and then transferred to the military commander's office of the Urus-Martan District ("the district military commander's office"). She also mentioned names of two persons involved in Vakha Abdurzakov's disappearance, "Volodya" and "Sergey", and said that the latter was the head of the Urus-Martan District Department of the Federal Security Service ("the FSB department"). Later the applicants learned that at the material time the FSB department had been headed by Mr Sergey Konstantinov.
19. The applicants gave Ms Yu. a parcel with some food and clothing for their son. Later she said that she had transferred the parcel to Vakha Abdurzakov, in detention in the district military commander's office, and that "Sergey" and "Volodya" had offered to release him for USD 3,000. The applicants did not have the money and promised Ms Yu. that they would consider the offer.
20. After a certain lapse of time the applicants agreed to pay the money demanded, borrowed USD 2,800 from their acquaintances and gave it to Ms Yu. on 7 January 2003. Nevertheless, they had no news from Vakha Abdurzakov. Ms Yu. explained them that "Sergey" had swindled her out of the money and left Urus-Martan.
2. Information submitted by the Government
21. At about 3 a.m. on 25 October 2002 unknown armed persons wearing camouflage uniforms entered the house at 234 Sharipov Street, Urus-Martan, apprehended Vakha Abdurzakov and took him away to an unknown destination.
B. The search for Vakha Abdurzakov and the investigation
1. The applicants' account
22. In the morning of 25 October 2002 the applicants visited various law enforcement agencies of the Urus-Martan District but received no information on Vakha Abdurzakov's detention. On the same day they lodged written complaints with the prosecutor's office of the Urus-Martan District ("the district prosecutor's office"), the department of the interior of the Urus-Martan District ("ROVD")
