Six years on - who killed Gongadze?

NUJ GENERAL Secretary Jeremy Dear will lead a delegation to Ukraine's Embassy in London on Friday 15 September, seeking answers on the sixth anniversary of the killing of independent journalist Gyorgy Gongadze.

On 16 September 2000, 31-year-old journalist Georgy Gongadze, publisher of the Internet journal Ukrainska Pravda (www.pravda.com.ua), disappeared. He was later found headless in a ditch in a suburb of Kiev. He had been investigating corruption at the heart of Ukraine's government.

In the last year, the case has moved, painfully slowly, in three respects – in the courts, at the general prosecutor's office and in the parliament. Details will follow.
