Yabloko activists to lay flowers at the site of the murder of lawyer Stanislav Markelov and journalist Anastasia Baburova
Press Release, 14.01.2020
On Sunday, 19 January, activists of the Yabloko party will lay flowers at the site of the murder of lawyer Stanislav Markelov and journalist Anastasia Baburova in Prechistenka street, Moscow.
Markelov and Baburova were killed that day in 2009 by neo-Nazis from the BORN group.
“Our party holds campaigns in memory of Markelov and Baburova every year,” says Kirill Goncharov, member of the party’s Federal Bureau and organiser of the action. “Nationalism in all its manifestations is a real threat to Russia, and the murder committed 11 years ago confirms this.”
The participants of the action will gather at the Kropotkinskaya metro station at 12:50. The memorial action will begin at Prechistenka street 1, at 13:00.
