Caucasus: More Journalists Attacked, Killed

Following the death in police custody of a prominent critic ^[1] of the authorities in Ingushetia, Terror News Briefs says that a rare anti-government rally held to protest the death of yet another journalist in the Russian Federation is sign of increased volatility in the Caucasus ^[2]. Meanwhile, The Other Russia comments on news that another two journalists have been attacked in the region ^[3] — one fatally. The blog says that this brings the number of journalists killed in Russia since 1991 to 220. Dzutsev's Weblog also comments on the news ^[4] and says the “price of harrassing, beating and murdering a journalist in North Caucasus has dropped down to one of the lowest levels.”
