	US State Department Urges Russia To Find Politkovskaya’s Murderer The US State department has renewed its call to Russia to bring to justice the person or persons who murdered Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya in the lobby of her apartment building last October. Her murder, the department said, was an “affront to free and independent media and to democratic values.” follow-up to: The Murder of Journalist Anna Politkovskaya, Terrible As It Is, May Just Be That Defining Event That Brings More Press Freedom Back To Russia - October 9, 2006 There has basically been a one-sided civil war going on in Russia between gangsters, politicians, Chechens, and maybe some oligarchs, too, versus the media. Current score since Vladimir Putin came to power: Journalists dead, contract-style 13 – those found guilty 0. Politkovskaya was a “symbol of courage and freedom, who, in the best tradition of journalism and the free press, investigated the most difficult issues, in particular exposing human rights abuses in Chechnya, and dedicated herself to uncovering the truth behind the story,” the department said. It urged the Russian government to continue its investigation “to find, prosecute and bring to justice the perpetrators of this heinous crime.” The department said it had been “shocked and profoundly saddened” by Politkovskaya’s “brutal murder”. It applauded the decision by the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to name Politkovskaya as the 2007 winner of its $25,000 Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize. Cano was the director of the Colombian daily newspaper El Espectador who was assassinated by two hired killers in December 1986. The prize honors the work of an individual or organization defending or promoting freedom of expression. – May 2, 2007 Keywords:journalists killed,Anna Politkovskaya
