PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
KILLING OF THE RUSSIAN JOURNALIST ANNA POLITKOVSKAYA (10 October 2006)

Motion Details

That this House condemns the killing in Moscow of the journalist Anna Politkovskaya; recognises her bravery in reporting in the most dangerous of circumstances; further recognises the importance of a free press, and in particular serious investigative journalism, in a soundly functioning society and democracy; notes the number of journalists who have already been murdered in Russia during the legitimate pursuit of their profession without their killers having been brought to justice; and urges the Russian government, therefore, to make every effort to find and prosecute the perpetrators of this latest, terrible crime.
