Mongolians remembered former Infrastructure Minister S.Zorig on the thirteenth anniversary of his assassination on Sunday. President Ts.Elbegdorj and MP S.Oyun, sister of S.Zorig, laid flowers at the statue of the leader of Mongolian’s 1990 democratic revolution, who was stabbed to death in his apartment on October 2, 1998.

Supporters of S.Zorig call him the “Golden Swallow of Democracy,” and believe his murder was politically motivated. The case is still unsolved.

At the time of his murder, it was widely believed that S.Zorig would be name prime minister. His sister Oyun has said that she believed her brother was murdered to prevent him from launching an anti-corruption campaign once he became prime minister.
