Gauri Lankesh, a high-profile journalist and activist who spoke out against the rise of right-wing Hindu extremism and stood up for India’s marginalised people, was shot to death on 5 September 2017.
Gauri was posthumously awarded the Anna Politkovskaya Award for her work. The trial of the 17 people being held in remand for her murder has yet to start. In partnership with A Safer World for the Truth, openDemocracy examines Gauri’s death – and commemorates her life.
