October 7 marks four years since Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya was gunned down in her apartment block. Her family and human rights activists are hitting out at police for not doing enough to find her killer.
A remarkable lady.I have just read a book she wrote in 2004 I think? Title is Putins Russia.I hope to read many more of her writing.Hopefully her murderers will be brought to justice but in Russia justice is not a reality.Very sad
