And a Russian court has sentenced five people to prison for the 2006 murder of the journalist and human rights advocate Anna Politkovskaya. A fierce critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Chechen War, Politkovskaya was shot dead outside her home. Two of the defendants were jailed for life, while three others were given sentences between 12 to 20 years. Russian activists say they want the case to remain open until it’s determined who ordered Politkovskaya’s murder.
