Court in North Ossetia refused to initiate a case against Beslan operative headquarters
The Leninskiy District Court of Vladikavkaz (North Ossetia), having considered today the complaint of the victims who challenged the refusal of the Public Prosecutor's Office to initiate criminal cases against the members of the operative headquarters in charge of rescuing the hostages in Beslan on September 1-3, 2004, has confirmed the legality of the Office's position, the IA "Interfax" reports.
The Leninskiy District Court was considering the complaint for the second time.
The "Caucasian Knot" has informed earlier that the Leninskiy District Court had cancelled the decision of the inspector of the State Office of Public Prosecutor who rejected the request of the victims of Beslan terror act to initiate criminal cases against the members of the operative headquarters that was established for releasing the hostages. This decision of the Court made it possible to bring the members of the headquarters to responsibility, including Alexander Dzasokhov, former President of North Ossetia, which has long been the aim of the victims.
