Moscow Rally Marks Journalist's Murder

Approximately 300 people gathered in Moscow's Pushkin Square to mark the six-month anniversary of the murder of investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya.

Politkovskaya, who wrote for the newspaper "Novaya gazeta," was shot and killed in the stairway of her Moscow apartment on October 7, 2006.

Grigory Yavlinsky, leader of the liberal Yabloko party, said there is "no political will to investigate Anna Politkovskaya's murder at the present time."
