Meeting in memory of Anna Politkovskaya held in Ingushetia

On October 7, the office of the human rights organization "Mashr" of the Republic of Ingushetia hosted a meeting in memory of journalist Anna Politkovskaya, who was killed right three years ago, on October 7, 2006.

"This is a great loss for all of us; I can't name another such bitter-ender and fearless journalist, so assiduously fighting against injustice, in defence of rights of ordinary people. This courageous woman had rendered strong support to relatives of kidnapped people in Ingushetia by disclosing in her articles facts of lawlessness, committed by special agencies in Northern Caucasus," said Magomed Mutsolgov, head of the "Mashr".

The human rights activists and relatives of murdered, kidnapped and missing persons, who were present at the meeting, once again condoled with Anna Politkovskaya's relatives and friends. They have expressed hope that the murder will be solved, and the murderers of the journalist will be punished under the whole severity of the law.
