Global associations of journalists have expressed concern over the murder of Pakistani journalist Arshad Sharif, who met his untimely end in Kenya Sunday evening, calling for immediate and speedy investigations into the case.
Sharif was shot by Kenyan police officers at a roadblock in Kajiado County, about an hour’s drive from Nairobi. The police have since said they mistook the car he was travelling in for a reportedly stolen one after it ran through the roadblock.
