An excerpt:
We at the Kyiv Post, like the rest of the nation’s journalist community, were shaken by the outrageous murder of journalist Pavel Sheremet, killed in a car bombing as he was driving to host a morning radio show on July 20.
We grieve his loss, and send our condolences to his family and to our colleagues at Ukrainska Pravda, where Sheremet worked. We grieve, but we’re also angry.
We think that this murder is the latest grim chapter in a story that started nearly 16 years ago, when another Ukrainian journalist, Georgiy Gongadze was kidnapped and killed.
We are convinced that if the Gongadze murder had been properly investigated, and the ones who ordered it had been found and punished, Sheremet would have made it to his radio show.
