In 2009, deputy editor of the paper Malik Akhmedilov was shot to death; colleagues believed his murder was linked to his critical journalism that reported on government attempts to suppress political and religious "extremism" and his investigations into unsolved, high-level assassination of officials in Dagestan.[2]
