Several dozen of friends and colleagues gathered in central Kyiv on July 20 to commemorate journalist Pavel Sheremet on the fifth anniversary of his murder.
Sheremet was a Belarusian journalist who had lived in Ukraine for several years when he was murdered with a car bomb on July 20, 2016.
Five years later, the murder is still not solved. Three people were charged as perpetrators, but the evidence against them is largely seen as weak and the investigation has fallen under major criticism. The police still don’t know who could have ordered the murder.
On July 20, 2020, the fourth anniversary of the murder, the family and friends of Sheremet unveiled a monument in his memory, installed at the corner of Ivana Franka Street and Bohdana Khmelnytskoho Street, where a bomb went off in the journalist’s car, killing him.
