Two years ago, Anna Politkovskaya, a famous journalist and human rights activist was murdered in Russia. A piquet on this occasion took place at the Russian Embassy in Helsinki, Finland.

Tajik journalists joined those who gathered at the piquet in remembrance of Politkovskaya. On that very day, Tajik journalists wanted to observe the national strike of journalists, the reason for which was the refusal of employers to satisfy collective professional requirements. However, the strike was postponed.

At present, Tajik journalists are attending a seminar organized in Helsinki for media professionals from Central Asia. The seminar is organized by the Finnish Information and Development Fund jointly with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
