Medvedev hopes those responsible for Stenin's death will be punished

MOSCOW. Sept 3 (Interfax) - Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said those who committed crimes against Russian photojournalist Andrei Stenin, who was killed in Ukraine, should be punished.

"I hope those who committed this grave crime will be punished," Medvedev said on Facebook.

"It's very sad when a talented young man, full of energy, is killed in a war. In a war in which he did not fight. In a war whose horrors and injustices he was trying to communicate to us by his photos," Medvedev said on Facebook.

"It's probably the highest manifestation of love for people: to put your life at risk to show that there should be no wars on the Earth. Andrei has been to many war zones. His photos and reports will remain as a memory of him for ever," Medvedev said.
