The Visaitovsky Court of Grozny refused to satisfy the complaint of Eset Umarova about familiarization with the case materials on the investigation of the disappearance of her son Movsar.

Recall that in July 2020, Movsar Umarov, a restaurant employee in Grozny, was detained by security forces and taken away in an unknown direction. Subsequently, he told his relatives by phone that he was interrogated in connection with watching videos of opposition blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov. The mother last saw her son in the office of the Neftepolk security unit. According to Eset, he was required to give testimony necessary to catch the terrorists. After some time, Umarov disappeared, and his relatives were told that he escaped during the investigation. The family believes that he was killed.

Five years after his disappearance, there is not a single suspect. The criminal case has not reached court. The investigation refuses to look for those involved in the man's disappearance, the Team Against Torture previously stated.

At the end of 2023, the European Court ordered the Russian authorities to pay compensation to Movsar Umarov's relatives. The ECHR found violations of several articles of the Convention on Human Rights: there was a forced abduction, illegal detention, cruel treatment of his brother, inadequate investigation, and psychological suffering of his relatives.
