＜事件の概要＞

SOSトーチャー国際事務局は、SOSトーチャーのネットワークメンバーの「ロシア・チェチェン友好協会」より、2006年7月27日、ジャウトゥハノフ・アリ・カムザノヴィッチさん（1977年生まれ）が正体不明の武装機関によって強制的に失踪させられたという情報を入手しました。

入手した情報によると、午後8時に武装した5名の男性がジャウトゥハノフさんの自宅へ侵入し、公園へ連れて行きました。そこで彼らはジャウトゥハノフさんのポケットに正体不明の物質（おそらく麻薬）が入った小袋を入れようとしたそうです。一緒にいた妻はその袋を取りだし、中味を当たり一面にばら撒きました。妻は顔と腹部を蹴られ、グループの主犯格と思われる人物から殺すと脅されました。2台の車 VAZ-21099 とVAZ-2107の1台にジャウトゥハノフさんは無理やり乗せられました。それ以来、彼の行方は不明のままです。

入手した情報によると、事件の一部始終を路上にいた隣人など数人が目撃しており、ウグザエフ・ドゥカハ・モヒエヴィッチさん（1977年生まれ）も目撃者の一人でした。彼はジャウトゥハノフさん夫妻を助けようとしましたが、武装グループの男性によって取り押さえられました。目撃者のウグザエフさんは殴られたり威嚇されたりして、一時間後に解放されたそうです。

　ジャウトゥハノフさんの家族はサマシキ村の警察に嘆願書を提出しましたが、受けつけた署員はジャウトゥハノフさんの行方は知らないし、警察署にも連行されていないと答えました。さらに、どこかの部隊がジャウトゥハノフさんなる人物を拘束したような情報は得ていないので、アクノイ・マルタン区の警察署に問合せをするよう勧められました。

　SOSトーチャー国際事務局は、ジャウトゥハノフ・アリ・カムザノヴィッチさんの心身の安全について懸念しています。

Forced disappearance

The International Secretariat of OMCT requests your URGENT intervention in the following situation in the Russian Federation.

Brief description of the situation

The International Secretariat of OMCT has been informed by the Society for the Russian-Chechen Friendship, a member of the OMCT network, of the forced disappearance of Mr. Jautkhanov Ali Khamzatovich (born in 1977) on 27 July 2006 by representatives of an unidentified force agency.

According to the information received, at 8.00 pm five armed men entered the house of Mr. Jautkhanov Ali Khamzatovich and took him into the garden where they allegedly tried to put a small package in his pocket, containing an unknown substance (supposedly narcotic). His wife responded by taking the package away from her husband after which she spread the content all around. Following this, she was kicked in the face and stomach and threatened to be killed by the alleged chief of the group. Mr. Jautkhanov Ali Khamzatovich was then forced into one of the two cars, a VAZ-21099 and a VAZ-2107, of the force agency after which his whereabouts remain unknown.

According to the information received, the whole incident was witnessed by their neighbours and by several people in the street, among whom was Mr. Uguzaev Dukvakha Mokhievich (born in 1977). As he tried to come to the defence of Mr. Jautkhanov Ali Khamzatovich and his wife, he was seized by the same group of men. It is alleged that he was beaten and threatened before he was released after an hour.

It is reported that Mr. Jautkhanov Ali Khamzatovich’s relatives submitted an appeal to the Samashki village police office. However, the service personnel claimed that they were unaware of Mr. Jautkhanov Ali Khamzatovich’s whereabouts and that he had not been brought to their premises. Furthermore, they stated that they did not know anything about the detention of Mr. Jautkhanov Ali Khamzatovich by any force agency and therefore his relatives were advised to make an inquiry at Achkhoy-Martan district police office.

The International Secretariat of OMCT expresses its concern over the psychical and psychological integrity of Mr. Jautkhanov Ali Khamzatovich.

Action requested

Please write to the authorities in Russia urging them to:

1. Locate the whereabouts of Mr. Jautkhanov Ali Khamzatovich and guarantee his physical and psychological integrity;

3. Order the immediate release of Mr. Jautkhanov Ali Khamzatovich in the absence of valid legal charges, and if such charges exist, ensure that he is given a prompt and fair trial, in which his procedural rights are guaranteed at all times;
