European Parliament
Catherine Stihler (PSE ),
in writing
The murder of Anna Politkovskaya should be condemned, as should all killings of journalists, human rights campaigners and others who seek to expose the truth. "Freedom of Expression" is still met with death in too many places in our world. Russia is still a country where freedom of expression is a myth. The Russian authorities must bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice. Greater pressure must be placed on the Russian authorities to guarantee the freedom of the media and human rights organisations on Russian soil.
