Russia failed to stop Beslan school massacre: EU court
Russia failed to protect the hostages when Chechen militants took over a school in Beslan in 2004 and killed over 330 people, the European court of human rights has ruled. The court further ruled that serious failings meant that the victims' right to life was violated, and ordered Russia to pay â¬3 million in reparations and â¬88,000 in legal costs.
