KYIV - Verkhovna Rada Chairman Oleksander Moroz on November 28 unveiled a plaque to commemorate journalist Heorhii Gongadze, which was installed on the Parliament's wall near the entrance to the press section. Gongadze fought against those in power, even though he knew that at that time his fight could not be successful, Mr. Moroz said during the ceremony. According to Mr. Moroz, it was precisely the death of the prominent parliamentary journalist that became the symbol of massive protests against the authorities of the time. Gongadze's murder triggered such widespread actions of protest as "Ukraine Against Kuchma," "Arise, Ukraine" and the 2004 maidan revolution. Mr. Moroz noted that there has been no progress in investigating the Gongadze case, and he said the Rada should invite the procurator general to make a report about this subject. Mr. Moroz called upon national deputies to demand that the case's investigation be completed. (Ukrinform)"
