In Kabardino-Balkaria, parents of perished attackers on Nalchik want to know the story of their sons' bodies

Today, Kabardino-Balkaria marks the third anniversary of tragic events on October 13, 2005, when armed people made an attack on Nalchik. Parents of the casualties want to know where their sons were buried.

At 11 a.m., relatives of the local residents who perished on October 13, 2005, rallied at the building of the Republic's Prosecutor's Office. They come here periodically, but today there were more of them than usual.

Speaking to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent, mothers said that the past three years brought no release from pain of loss of their sons.

They spoke about their disagreement with treating their sons as terrorists. They kept reminding that their children "had captured neither schools nor kindergartens" and wondered why the organizers of those events had not been brought to responsibility.

Everybody also kept saying that they would not stop until they find out what happened with the bodies of their sons: "We want to know for sure what happened with them: first they told us that the bodies had been cremated, then, that they had been buried, now - that they are still in the morgue. So far, we've received not a single official answer about the fate of the bodies, although we've written dozens of letters."

At the rally, an appeal was announced to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and other supreme officials of the country on behalf of the mothers.

In particular, the letter runs that "nobody has ever been made responsible for numerous violations of the law committed before October 13, 2005, for humiliation, torture, closing of mosques, and for driving the situation out of control."
