Murder of Oumar Israilov

Written question No. 561 to the Committee of Ministers | Doc. 11829 | 03 February 2009

Signatories:
Mr Andreas GROSS, Switzerland, SOC

In view also of the statement of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights adopted on Monday 26 January 2009, how does the Committee of Ministers intend to react to the murder, in Vienna, of Oumar Israilov, a refugee who had dared to accuse the Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov before the European Court of Human Rights of having personally tortured him?

In particular, what action will the Committee of Ministers take against such murders and how does it intend to protect other threatened refugees?

Signed:

GROSS Andreas, Switzerland, SOC
