Brazilian blogger murdered

Brazilian newspaper founder, blogger and political party leader Edinaldo Figueira was shot to death on 15 June.

Figueira, president of a branch of the Workers' Party in Brazil's northern state of Rio Grande do Norte, had started a local newspaper and maintained a blog about local issues.

Fellow bloggers suspect that the killing was linked to a survey that Figueira published on his blog that questioned the activities of city officials.
