Rights court condemns Russia over Chechen death
The Strasbourg-based court said Russian responsibility for the death of Shamil Said-Khasanovich Akhmadov had been established "beyond all reasonable doubt".Akhmadov, who lived 10 km (6 miles) from the Chechen capital Grozny, was one of 170 people arrested on March 2001 during an operation by the Russian army.
His body was found in a field in April 2002. The right leg was broken, the upper half of the skull was missing and there were bullet holes in the chest area of his clothes.
The court found Russia guilty of violating the right to life, illegal detention, an inefficient investigation into the death and not handing over documents relating to the case.
Moscow sent thousands of troops to Chechnya a decade ago to put down a rebellion by separatists. Fighting flared again after President Vladimir Putin took office in 2000 and ordered a new crackdown.
Large-scale fighting has now died down and Moscow is scaling back its troop presence.
Rights groups accuse federal Russian troops of conducting indiscriminate sweeps -- known as "chistki" or clean-ups -- through Chechen villages in search of insurgents. Dozens of those detained in this way have never returned home.
The court has made several rulings against Russia in the deaths of Chechens and in other rights cases. Putin has criticised the verdicts as "politicised".
