Motivated by human sympathy and a sense of professional duty, Anna never succumbed to fear, or to the official anti-Chechen hysteria. She was one of the few Russian journalists who systematically, year after year, exposed the crimes against humanity which the Russian military machine visited upon the defenceless civilian population of the Chechen Republic. I had the honour of being personally acquainted with Anna Politkovskaya, and never ceased to admire her courage and moral integrity combined with deep humanity. For me, as for all Anna's friends and those who worked alongside her, her ... >> full

Sadly, given how few of these cases have been solved, the theories are likely to remain unconfirmed indefinitely. Among the first—and perhaps most significant—comments about who may have killed Politkovskaya came from the newspaper where she worked—Novaya gazeta. In a special edition published on its website on October ... >> full

From: MSN Nicknamelove_caucasus (Original Message) Sent: 10/15/2006 11:06 PM Chancellor of Justice in Sweden denies Russian request to stop Kavkaz-Center Publication time: Today at 08:22 Djokhar time The Russian efforts to stop the freedom of expression and maintain a news blockade on independent reporting from Caucasus have experienced a new setback. The Chancellor of Justice in Sweden has denied a Russian request to stop Kavkaz Center, which today operates also in Sweden. In May this year, the prosecutor Håkan Roswall seized the Kavkaz Center's servers, in order to start investigations about instigation of violence. The prosecutor's measures were caused by a request from the Russian Embassy in Stockholm. However, Kavkaz Center maintained to reopen the web site within a few days on new server hardware, and brought the case into court. The first result of these court proceedings came a couple of week ago, when the Stockholm city court allowed Kavkaz Center's representative 1250 ... >> full
