Remembering Anna Politkovskaja

Yesterday was the birthday of Vladimir Putin. Maybe you remember what birthday present he got last year....
Journalist Anna Politkovskaja was murdered in Moscow the 7th October 2006.
The Finnish PEN arranged a candle ceremony in front on the Russian Embassy in Helsinki on Sunday the 7th October 2007. These pictures are from there. (Last February we left candles in front of the Turkish Embassy for the memory of Hrant Dink.)


The Russian Embassy in Helsinki. We had to stay on the other side of the street like in February when we met outside the Turkish Embassy.
The woman holding Anna's picture is MP Heidi Hautala.
