Vigils held in Berlin and Paris for Politkovskaya
The first anniversary of the murder of the Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya has also been marked with vigils in other European centres.
Amnesty International and Reporters Without Borders were behind a small gathering outside the Russian embassy in Berlin. Reporters Without Borders also demonstrated in Paris, calling on the Russian government to do more to bring to justice the killers of 18 journalists. It says that is the number of reporters killed in Russia since President Putin came to power in 2001.
