European Court for Human Rights accepts a complaint from Dagestan

On June 16, 2008, Adilgerey Omarov, an advocate from Dagestan, received a notification letter from Strasbourg saying that his claim about collecting 3 million euros from the Russian budget in favour of his client Gasan Baisultanov has been accepted for consideration by the European Court for Human Rights.

On November 3, 2006, in the city of Khasavyurt, at No. 83 Schorsa Street, a regular special operation was conducted, as a result of which Gasan Baisultanov, owner of the house, accused of complicacy with militants, was wounded in the heart area, and his pregnant wife, who, in the words of power agents, had allegedly attacked the law enforcers, died in place from numerous gunshot wounds.

Mamatkhan Baisultanov, victim's father has told how the investigation was conducted: his son, who was in the condition of pain shock, was interrogated without an advocate right in the resuscitation ward. Similar interrogations were practised later. In March 2007, the Supreme Court of Dagestan considered the criminal case in relation to Gasan Baisultanov and sentenced him to 1.5 years of imprisonment in a colony-settlement.

Even then, the father and the advocate asserted that the court had disregarded essential reasons of the defence, since the forensic-ballistic examination had shown that the sub-machine gun that was presented to the court shots had never been fired from, and Guseinov for more than 10 years had been registered at the psychiatry dispensary with the diagnosis: "personality frustration with steady compensation of personal reactions".

The same forensic-ballistic examination had also helped to identify the militiaman who had executed the Baisultanov family.
