CNN’s iReport has run our videos of the July 21 Vienna vigil outside the courthouse where Rakhat Aliyev pled unsuccessfully before an Austrian judge for his freedom.
In one of of our CNN iReport videos, titled “Vienna protesters want Rakhat Aliyev tried for Novikova murder,” protesters explain their concerns that Aliyev may not face justice in Austria because of the fact that Austria’s new Minister of Justice, Wolfgang Brandstetter, was on Aliyev’s payroll to keep the former Kazakhstan KGB general out of prison.
Observers of the protesters agreed that evidence is compelling that Rakhat Aliyev was behind the 2004 murder of Anastasiya Novikova, and that it was incumbent on Austrian authorities to follow every piece of information.
Some of the observers in the video said that “justice can be bought” in Europe, and raised the issue of Brandstetter and Aliyev’s KGB networks as making #JusticeForNovikova anything but a sure thing.
The other of our CNN iReport videos is of our first, quick montage of footage from the protest in front of the Vienna Criminal Court.
