Anna Politkovskaya 9 October 2006
Anna Politkovskaya
The journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered outside her house on Saturday night.

In an interview recorded in October 2004 Anna discussed why the authorities were so frightened of what she had to say and whether she herself was scared of where her outspokenness would lead her.

Anna had been so critical of the President and so outspoken about the situation in Chechnya that she received death threats and had to flee the country.

When she returned to Russia, she claimed to have been drugged on her way to cover the siege in the school in Beslan.
