Today, the correspondent's office of the "Caucasian Knot" located in the city of Nalchik, the capital of Kabardino-Balkaria, has been approached by the relatives of the victims of the October 2005 events who have stated that the bodies of the casualties were not cremated. According to the relatives, they learnt about it from reliable sources.
They have addressed their appeal to mass media, President of Russia, General Public Prosecutor of the Russian Federation, European Court for Human Rights and international human rights organizations.
They call on President of Russia Vladimir Putin, General Public Prosecutor Yuri Chaika "to urgently interfere into the problem of the bodies, stop lawlessness, prevent cremation and present truthful information on the conditions the bodies are kept in to the parents."
At the same time, advocate Larissa Dorogova, who is defending the interests of the relatives of the militants who had perished in Kabardino-Balkaria, has declared in hew interview to the "Caucasus Times" that the decision to cremate the bodies was an authorities' attempt to conceal the fact of blatant non-observance of the storage conditions of the bodies, which has resulted in an essential degradation of the remains.
