One year after the brazen killing of a leading Chechen rights defender, Natalia Estemirova, her friends and colleagues call on the Russian government to hold the perpetrators to account. Mourning Natalia and demanding justice, Human Rights Watch invites you to watch this video tribute. Natalia Estemirova, a top human rights activist in the troubled Russian republic of Chechnya and a close colleague of Human Rights Watch, was abducted in Grozny on July 15, 2009. Her body was found later that day. Estemirova was a researcher with Russian human rights group Memorial and had worked closely with Human Rights Watch. In 2007 she was given the Human Rights Watch Defender Award. This video was presented to introduce her work.
