Politkovskakya Remembered

October 5, 2007, 1:47 PM

The murder of Russian journalist Anna Poliykovskaya continues to reverberate. This week Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty held conference to mark the anniversary of her murder. At the conference Edward Lucas, deputy editor of the international section of the "Economist" said that, Anna's murder was a symptom of a process that started with the failure to eradicate the KGB and has "accelerated more when Putin took over..." Lucas believes that repression continues to increase in Russia.

Anna's important, posthumously published, memoir A Russian Diary should be read by all.

Some more blogs in tribute to Anna: here, here, here .

Update: The politcs behind Anna's murder and more on Anna from Open Democracy.

Throughout the world, repressive regimes are set on limiting the freedom of their citizens.

Reporters are being jailed, protesters beaten, teachers murdered in front of their students, and citizens are systematically intimidated and threatened.

In today's global era, the international community can help oppressed people everywhere.

I, the undersigned, oppose the denial of cherished freedoms of expression, assembly, and travel.

I support CaseForFreedom.org in its campaign against repressive regimes that systematically deny citizens these essential freedoms.
