Anna Politkovskaya recieves "2007 Democracy Award" by National Endowment for Democracy, which, this year, is given for those "who have bravely contributed to increasing and preserving press freedom and independent media in Egypt, Southeast Asia, Venezuela, and Russia." (yeah...)
"Anna Politkovskaya, the courageous reporter for the Moscow newspaper Novaya Gazeta who was murdered at her apartment building on October 7, 2006, will be honored posthumously. Throughout her distinguished career as a Russian journalist, Anna was an outspoken advocate for human rights and an end to the devastating war in Chechnya. Politkovskaya's award will be accepted by fellow Novaya Gazeta reporter Elena Milashina."
