MOSCOW. Aug 2 (Interfax) - The Grozny office of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) suspended its activities for a day on Tuesday and called on Chechnya's authorities to step up the investigation into the abduction of Red Cross official Usman Saidaliyev.
"The ICRC office in Grozny has suspended its work for one day to draw attention to the fate of Usman Saidaliyev, an ICRC employee in the Chechen republic, who was abducted two years ago," Red Cross Moscow office spokesman Anastasia Isyuk told Interfax.
"The ICRC has repeatedly raised this issue in its contacts with the authorities and asked them to find out what happened to Usman. But no answer has been received yet," Isyuk said.
Saidaliyev was kidnapped by unidentified gunmen from his house in the village of Novy Engenoi on the night of August 2, 2003.
