According to Olga Sadovskaya, the head of the CaT's international legal defence division, earlier, the ECtHR had refused to apply Rule 39 to Tepsurkaev's case. Rights defenders asked the ECtHR to demand from the Russian Federation security measures to establish Tepsurkaev's whereabouts, as well as guarantees of his release and safety.

According to Ms Sadovskaya, the resumption of the check may be due to the fact that the ECtHR's attention has been drawn to the case, and the Chechen investigating bodies hurry to create the visibility of investigation.
