Politkovskaya murder trial starts in Russia
The trial of three men charged with involvement in the murder of prominent Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya has begun in Moscow. There are calls for the trial to be open to the public.
Ms Politkovskaya was an investigative journalist with Novaya Gazeta renowned for her reports from Chechnya. She was shot dead outside her Moscow apartment just over two years ago.
Three men are now on trial for their alleged involvement in her murder. But the judge has reportedly indicated this is to be a closed trial, because of secret material involved in the case.
