Russian Police Kill Online Journalist

Doing the job that journalism won't do, reporting on what is really going on in Georgia and the abuses of the Russian Army, Russia have killed a Russian blogger.

THE OWNER and editor of a web site that was critical of police abuse of the citizens of a troubled southern Russian province was arrested and apparently shot to death by police on Sunday.

Ingushetiya police arrested Magomed Yevloyev, proprietor of the website Ingushetiya.ru, on a plane from Moscow after it landed, according to deputy editor Ruslan Kautiyev.

Kautiyev said Yevloyev was taken away in a car by police and dumped beside the road a short time later with a gunshot wound to the head. He subsequently died at a hospital.

A court had ordered Yevloyev's web site shut down in June due to government allegations that it was publishing "extremist" views. Yevloyev complied, but continued online publication on a new web site with a different name.

Template for the Obama and Democrats view of their fairness doctrine. His website appears to be shutdown.
