CNN shows our London protest video on iReport

[UPDATE, December 12, 2014: Rakhat Aliyev’s business partners/in-laws invoked Britain’s laws to pressure CNN to censor this video.]

For the second time since July, CNN has hosted a video of our protests to bring the murderers of Anastasiya Novikova to justice.

The latest video is of our November 16 protest outside the Lebanese Embassy in London. #JusticeForNovikova activists attempted to deliver a letter to the Lebanese Ambassador, but were stopped by police and warned that they would be arrested.

London protesters carry banners in English and Arabic, calling for Lebanon to try Issam and Devincci Hourani for the murder of Anastasiya Novikova.

The letter was an expression of support for the Lebanese judge who is reportedly considering Anastasiya’s murder case. Two prime suspects are said to be named – both of whom are Lebanese co-conspirators of Rakhat Aliyev.

The suspects are Issam Hourani and Devincci Hourani. The former Hourani is Aliyev’s brother-in-law.

Both have been involved in various well-publicized business schemes and frauds that include forgeries, introduced as evidence in litigation filed in Britain, France and the United States.

“Get the murderers out of London!” the protesters chanted in the video.

One of the participants, a mother who lost her 21 year-old daughter and identifies with Anastasiya’s family, is shown speaking to a police officer outside the gated entrance to the street housing the Lebanese Embassy.

The mother explained to the camera why she was protesting, and spoke, through the video, to Anastasiya’s parents, saying that she and others would fight in Britain for their cause.

The Houranis own a flat at London’s exclusive Lowndes Square, which was the site of a #JusticeForNovikova protest last June, on the 10th anniversary of Anastasiya’s murder.

Protesters chose Lowndes Square because the Houranis owned the Beirut flat where Anastasiya was held captive, turtured, raped, drugged, and ultimately murdered in 2004. The protest took place on the 10th anniversary of her violent death.

Forbes magazine recently wrote a feature on Aliyev’s use of KGB forgeries to discredit his critics, and mentioned Issam and Devincci Hourani for surfacing forgeries as pretexts for litigation.

Our first video run by CNN’s iReport was of our July vigil in Vienna, Austria. A small group of our supporters held a quiet watch in front of the Vienna Criminal Court building on the day of Rakhat Aliyev’s hearing, in which he was expected to ask to be released on his own recognizance.

Instead, Austrian prosecutors kept Aliyev in jail as they built a double murder case against him.
