Roddy Scott
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roddy Scott, 31, was a British freelance cameraman working for Britain's Frontline television news agency.
On September 26, 2002, Scott was killed in the Russian republic of Ingushetia. Russian soldiers found his body in Ingushetia's Galashki region, near the border with Chechnya, following a bloody battle between Russian forces and a group of Chechen fighters.
Scott had accompanied the Chechens as they crossed from Georgia into Russia, United Press International reported. Roddy Scott's father, Robin, writing to The Times, said his son had courageously chosen to travel with the Chechens, in order to remedy the sparse media reporting of an appalling conflict. "Whether it was Kurds, Chechens, Afghans or Palestinians, he was committed to ensuring that issues were not sidelined and received the international attention that they deserved," his family said in a statement.
