STRASBOURG, France, March 12 (UPI) -- A European Parliament resolution Thursday called for an international investigation into the killing of Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov.
Nemtsov, 55, who was gathering evidence on Russia's involvement in Ukraine, was shot to death Feb. 27 as he walked on a Moscow street. He was a critic of the administration of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and was helping plan a demonstration opposing Russian involvement in Ukraine, scheduled for two days after his death.
