What is needed now: a high-profile website with the information Natalia Estemirova gathered, with the goal of exposing the people behind the human-rights abuses she investigated. The power of social media — and socially-conscious people all over the world — needs to be focused on this goal.

This callous murder of Ms Estemirova is yet another chilling reminder to civil society of the perils faced by some journalists working in conflict zones around the world. By bringing hard hitting facts to the public arena they irrefutably place themselves in the sniper scope of their enemies. Tragically, this despicable crime against both Human Rights and Press Freedom is becoming an increasingly all too common occurrence across the globe. Nevertheless, many journalists remain undaunted in the face of such adversity and continue to run this gauntlet of reprisal in the pursuit of bringing crimes perpetrated against innocents to world attention.
By allowing these murders to go unpunished is setting a dangerous precedent for other dictatorships to follow!
The perpetrators of this grotesque act of murder against the world of human rights must be brought to justice!!
