Russia asks extra time to answer European Court's questions

The Russian government has asked for another delay - till May 22 - for preparing answers to the "communication" of the European Court for Human Rights on the complaint lodged by the relatives of the militants, who perished on October 13, 2005, in Nalchik (Kabardino-Balkaria), concerning refusal to give out their bodies for burial.

The complaint named "Khalimat Sabanchieva et al (50 applicants in total, - the author) versus Russia" was filed on October 26 and on November 15, 2005.

The "Caucasian Knot" has informed earlier that the government of Russia had already once asked for a delay in preparing answers to the Memorandum of the European Court - till April 11 this year.

Meanwhile, it follows from the European Court's letter that the complaint was awarded a priority.
