| A day to remember Anna Politkovskaya |

Sir, Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of the murder of the Russian investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya. We call on the Russian Government to bring to justice, in full conformity with international standards, both those who killed Anna Politkovskaya and those who have ordered her murder. We also call on the world’s leaders to pledge to do everything in their power to protect the journalists and human rights defenders who work in areas of war and conflict, and who speak out on behalf of the victims, as Anna did. We owe it to the memory of Anna to protect the very few who still speak out, on behalf of those to whom nobody wants to listen.
