One year after the murder of human rights campaigner, Natalia Estemirova, RAW in WAR is launching a scholarship in her name for women from war and conflict in the world to study human rights journalism.
Help us make it happen!
"A new trial is on in Grozny. Once again we hear witness statements about the events in the cells of the Oktyabrsky police station which make our hearts miss a beat and once again we have to persuade witnesses to come forward despite possible repercussions. …The building where people were maimed and murdered is no longer there. They pulled it down, allegedly to build a new boarding school for the deaf. This was over a year ago. Someone has a vested interest in this Russian Abu-Graib being forgotten - so that they can once again kidnap people and torture them. Our task, however, is to uncover their deeds and to fight them. Anna was at the forefront of this work for many years. She is no more. Now it is up to us to continue with her work.” (Natalia Estemirova)
