On Wednesday, December 15, on the Journalists Memorial Day,
the YABLOKO party conducted a memorial action paying tribute
to murdered journalists. YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin
and head of YABLOKO’s Gender faction Galina Mikhalyova also
participated in the picketing.
The action took place by the Griboyedov monument at Chistiye
Prudy. YABLOKO’s activists held photographs of murdered journalists
with the dates when they were killed and placards “Univestogated
murders = a disgrace for the state!” and “No one brought to
account?” showing that the murders have been still uninvestigated.
