Khamid Khasiev (Khashiev)
Historical HRW disappearance entry STA-D06 — later confirmed deceased. Khamid Khasiev / Khashiyev was recorded as missing after detention on 19 January 2000, but his body was found on 10 February 2000 with gunshot wounds. The later evidence is recorded in Khashiyev and Akayeva v. Russia. The original HRW disappearance ID remains for source fidelity; it does not mean the man’s fate is still unknown. He was not in HRW’s original numbered list of 38 reported deaths. See the judicial case cross-reference.
Age reported: 45 · Last seen: 19 January 2000 · Location: Eighth Liniya (Boulevard), Grozny · Outcome: not established by Human Rights Watch in February 2000
Circumstances of the disappearance
Khamid Khasiev (Khashiyev in later judicial records) was one of three men who accompanied the wounded Mariam Goigova toward medical assistance on 19 January 2000, with Magomet Goigov and Risvan Taimaskhanov. Contemporary witnesses reported that soldiers detained and removed them. HRW described Lida Taimaskhanova as Khamid’s wife and Anzor as his son; the 2005 Khashiyev and Akayeva judgment, however, describes Lidiya Khashiyeva as the sister of Magomed Khashiyev (also Khamid’s brother), and Anzor and Rizvan as Lidiya’s sons. This discrepancy is not resolved in the available sources. The bodies of Khamid, Rizvan and Magomet were discovered together on 10 February 2000, as described in that judgment.
Evidence limits and identity safeguards
At the time of HRW’s field investigation Khamid remained missing; his body was found on 10 February 2000, as documented by the 2005 Khashiyev and Akayeva judgment. The Court concluded that Russian State agents were responsible for the deaths and that the official investigation was ineffective under Article 2. HRW’s Khasiev / Khashiev spellings refer to this same person. The family relationship described by HRW (Lida as Khamid’s wife) conflicts with the court’s description of Lidiya Khashiyeva as the sister of Magomed Khashiyev, who was also Khamid’s brother. That genealogical conflict is unresolved in this memorial; no definitive spousal relationship is asserted.
The source’s original classification has been retained so readers can trace the chronology of reporting. This individual’s death was subsequently documented by judicial materials, and the case no longer belongs to the subset of disappearances whose eventual outcomes have not been independently established. The judgments attribute responsibility to the Russian State under the European Convention; they do not convict an identified serviceman.
