A court in Moscow started hearings in the new trial in the high-profile Politkovskaya murder case. Anna Politkovskaya, a Russian journalist and human rights activist, was assassinated in Moscow in 2006. Three alleged accomplices in the murder were acquitted by a jury in February 2009, but the Russian Supreme Court overturned the acquittal and ordered a retrial. The alleged killer is still wanted.
