The Leninsky District Court of Vladikavkaz overturned the decision of the investigator of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, who refused to initiate criminal cases against members of the operational headquarters for the release of hostages during the seizure of a school in Beslan." For three years now, members of the "Mothers of Beslan" committee have been trying to bring to justice those who directly led the operation to rescue the hostages. The Prosecutor General's Office has already filed a protest, but if the court's decision remains in force, an investigation will begin into the actions of officials, including the ex-president of the republic, Alexander Dzasokhov.
