Writing for the South Asia Democratic Forum (SADF), Siegfried O Wolf, said that Pakistan is in a state of shock after two horrifying events: first is the killing of one journalist Arshad Sharif and the assassination attempt on former prime minister Imran Khan.
Sharif was killed by two shots fired at close range. This is one of the few hard facts to have emerged in the two weeks since his murder in a Nairobi suburb on the night of October 23. The information comes from a Kenyan autopsy report published on November 4.
The controversy over the killing of Pakistan's journalist Arshad Sharif has deepened amid reports of the presence of 10 American instructors and US national trainees at AmmoDump Shooting Range where he spent his last night before being gunned down by the Kenyan police.
Pakistan government has demanded several details and investigation reports from Kenya authorities in connection to the murde rof journalist Arshad Sharif.
The suspicious killing of journalist Arshad Sharif in Kenya has highlighted that whoever dares to criticise those holding power in Pakistan will be suppressed as the harassment of journalists continues in the country despite the change in governments.
Some believe that Sharif was trailed by a "Pakistani killer squad" due to an investigation he was doing into a money laundering syndicate involving Pakistani politicians.
