	Belarus News and Analysis \| WAN concerned about investigation into murder of journalist Veronika Cherkasova (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Ms Cherkasova, a journalist with the newspaper Solidarnost, was found stabbed to death in her apartment last October, at a time when she was investigating the alleged sale of arms by Belarus to Iraq.
		Though an independent investigation concluded that her murder was a professional assassination, the authorities identified her 15-year-old son and chronically ill stepfather as the main suspects in the case and subjected them to months of harassment.
		WAN said it would continue to monitor the case as part of its campaign to ensure that the murders of journalists worldwide are thoroughly investigated and that their killers are brought to justice.

	Judge cancels request for psychiatric examination of Veronika Cherkasova’s son : print
		Judge Igor Krot of the Tsentralny court in Minsk on 9 March cancelled the request for a psychiatric examination of Anton Filimonov, the 15-year-old son of journalist Veronika Cherkasova, who was murdered in her home in October 2004.
		Veronika Cherkasova, who was found stabbed to death in her home in Minsk on 20 October 2004, to explore the possibility that it was linked to her work as a journalist instead of concentrating on the theory of a crime of passion and trying at all costs to implicate her family.
		Cherkasova was looking into the possibility of arms sales by the Belarusian government to Saddam Hussein, the press freedom organization said, but the person in charge of investigating her death, Vladimir Chumachenko instead ordered a new psychiatric examination of Cherkasova’s 15-year-old son, Anton Filimonov, on 31 January.

		(RSF/IFEX) - RSF has called on those investigating the murder of Veronika Cherkasova to explore the possibility that the crime was linked to her work as a journalist, rather than focussing on the theory of a crime of passion and trying at all costs to implicate her family.
