A Russian television reporter was found dead in his Moscow apartment on Friday. According to www.guardian.co.uk, the reporter was discovered hours after blogging about being labeled a “dissident.”
The website reports that IIyas Shurpayev was found with a belt tied around his neck and multiple stabs wounds. Shurpayev worked for Channel One, a state-run television network in Moscow.
According to www.guardian.co.uk, Shurpayev blogged about his column being banned from a local newspaper only hours before his death. There is still no strong evidence that links his death to his journalism work. The website reports that more than a dozen journalists have been killed in Russia since 2000.
