Actions to be held on July 15 in Natalia Estemirova's memory

On July 15, 2010, one year after the murder of Natalia Estemirova, an employee of the Human Rights Centre (HRC) "Memorial", a commemoration picket will be held at 5:30-6:30 p.m. at the monument to Griboedov (Chistye Prudy metro station). Then, at 7:00 p.m. a memory party will start at 12 Maly Karetny, in the HRC premises.

Let us remind you that July 15 is one year after Estemirova's kidnapping and murder. On July 8, the Independent Press Centre hosted a press conference on a theme "Inquiry into Natalia Estemirova's murder: questions to the investigation", during which it was noted that inspectors failed to answer the key questions on the murder of the rights defender.

It is expected that at the memory party her friends and colleagues will tell about her last days and show Natasha's photos of different years. After the official part everyone will be able to commemorate Natalia.
