Yesterday, 24 August 2011, Russia investigators into the murder of journalist Anna Politkovskaya in October 2006, announced that they have arrested a former police officer on accusation of involvement in her killing, adding that they are close to identifying others who had ordered her assassination. This is a positive development in the investigation, although some have expressed reservations, including Politkovskaya’s newspaper Novaya Gazeta, as to how far the authorities would be willing to investigate officials holding high level posts who may also have been involved. PEN will continue to monitor the trial.
