Russia's human rights commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova said that law enforcement agencies of the Chechen Republic did not received any complaints on abduction of people in the republic.
Moskalkova said she would investigate the reports and had asked Chechnya's interior minister if any complaints about abductions had been submitted. The republic's ministry said it had not received any such complaints between 1 January and 1 April.
"We spoke to a well-known human rights activist and she also said that she had not received any such complaints. Now I have sent requests to the republic's prosecutor and the Prosecutor-General's Office," TASS cited her as saying.
