I was really shocked to hear about the murder of Anna Politkovskaya, a Russian journalist, who was perhaps more famous for her campaigning for human rights in Russia, and in Chechnya to be more specific. To any of you interested in living in a fair world, where people should be given equality and the freedom of speech I suggest that you find out more about this incredibly inspirational woman. There will be a protest of some of Scotland's most influential writers and journalists at the Russian Consulate on the 24th October to demand an inquiry into her brutal death.
For more information on Anna, please use the following link. I would be interested to hear your views on this.
