Chechen Journalist and Activist Natalia Estimorova was kidnapped yesterday from her home in Grozny, the Chechen Capital and found dead on a highway a few hours later with gunshot wounds to the head and torso. She worked closely with lawyer Stanislav Markelov who was killed in January as he left a news conference in Moscow.

 In 2006 Anna Politikovskaya The Russian investigation journalist was shot to death also, Ms Estimorova won a award the next year named for Ms. Politikovskaya.

 

To me this is so sad and shows how corrupt the country has become where anyone that speaks out against torture and abuse is deemed a threat to the "Powers that be".The link above gives the full article about this and covers more details the reasons and the heroic martyrs who stand up to Tyranny.

Ironiclly today is the date the Czar Nicholas II, his wife and his five children were killed by the Bolsheviks.

 

Again like my previous post, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

 

 

The funeral procession was stopped by police as a public protest, just shows how they are still afraid of folks there who stand for human rights.

Date: 7/16/2009 9:01:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 51876    With the way that Russia has been for so long, it seems never.

Date: 7/16/2009 9:55:00 AM  From Authorid: 48809    How terrible that such a thing should happen to someone that is trying to make things better for their country. I am ,and I think others too are so tired of all the murder and horrible other things that seem to go on for ever. There are so many that are only interested in what they want for themselves...such as money and power etc. What a shame!

Date: 7/16/2009 6:08:00 PM  From Authorid: 42945    I saw her on tv and it disgusts me to think that someone like her can be disposed of because she was trying to advocate peace, makes me sick   
Date: 7/16/2009 11:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 35720    That's horrible..  
Date: 7/17/2009 12:03:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    Despite the horror of the story, the fact that it is even reported in the West, complete with details, shows progress from the days when a story like this would have been hush'd-up. She was not "disappeared". She was allowed to be found. It could be a warning to others, or it could indicate that crimes like this will not be tolerated. Remember, back-in-the-day, people would be sent on "vacations", from which they never returned. It is very sad. However, as harsh as it sounds, Ms. Estimorova knew the risks. She did not ask for her death, but she had to have know the possible cost of her actions.  
Date: 7/17/2009 12:11:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    I applaud her wanting to fight for Human Rights. The paid the ultimate price, and now her daughter has lost her Mother. But she took on a corrupt leader, who is reported to have Kremlin support. And Chechnya can be a very violent place, as evidenced by the numerous kidnappings. At one point, she even left the area, and returned. It is a sad story. But I am afraid, the ending is not surprising.  
Date: 7/17/2009 1:00:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 51876    I do agree SC..She knew the risks..The funeral procession stuff was way over the top though. Reminds me of the problems in Palestine.
