A/HRC/7/2 page 69 Working Group decided that the information submitted was insufficient to clarify the outstanding cases. The last two communications could not be translated by the United Nations translation services in time for consideration by the Working Group for inclusion in the present report. Information from sources 309. Information was received from sources regarding two outstanding cases. The source presented many questions to the Working Group regarding the investigations undertaken by the Russian Federation authorities, which were transmitted to the Government. Sources also replied to a case concerning a 34-year-old Armenian citizen, stating that they believe the disappeared is being held in a psychiatric hospital in Chekhov. General allegation 310. Information was submitted by NGOs to the Working Group concerning obstacles allegedly encountered in the implementation of the Declaration. This information was transmitted to the Government. 311. NGOs alleged that impunity for cases of enforced disappearances in Chechnya continues to prevail. The Working Group was informed that, although the public prosecutor’s office has opened investigations in thousands of cases of enforced disappearance, NGOs are aware of only a handful of cases in which a State official has actually been prosecuted, and in no case has a State official been prosecuted for the enforced disappearance itself. 312. No reply was received from the Government regarding this general allegation. Request for a visit 313. The Working Group proposed September 2007 for a country visit to the Russian Federation, following prior agreement in principle by the Government for the visit. However, the Government transmitted a communication on 6 February 2007, reaffirming its agreement in principle to receive a visit, but stating that the proposed date would no longer be possible; the visit could take place once the review of special procedures mandates was completed by the Human Rights Council. Total cases transmitted, clarified and outstanding 314. In previous years and during the period under review, the Working Group has transmitted 468 cases to the Government; of those, 10 cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by the source, 1 case has been clarified on the basis of information provided by the Government, and 457 cases remain outstanding. Observations 315. The Working Group encourages the Government to respond to its general allegation letter and to take steps to clarify outstanding cases, including the large number of unresolved cases
