Press Release, 07.10.2016
Today, on 7 October, the Tambov regional branch of the YABLOKO party held pickets memory of journalist Anna Politkovskaya.
“I am grateful to all who said the words of support, who have not just passed by. This murder can not be silenced and we will not keep silent,” Sergei Reznikov, Chairman of the Tambov branch of YABLOKO, said.
Residents of Tambov asked the picketers about the progress of investigation into the murder of famous journalist and human rights activist.
“There are few journalists [like Anna Politokovakaya], almost none, perhaps, if all the media were as honest and objective as she was, we would have had more order in the country. Mass media, after all, is the “fourth branch of government,” journalists can do a lot, but they are afraid. They are afraid that they will have the same destiny as Anna,” a woman passer-by said.
