A prominent Pakistani investigative journalist, Arshad Sharif, who was critical of the country’s powerful military, has been killed in Kenya nearly two months after he left Pakistan.
“I lost a friend, husband, and my favourite journalist today; as per police, he was shot in Kenya,” Javeria Siddique tweeted about her husband Arshad Sharif’s death on Sunday night.
The 49-year-old journalist fled the country in August to avoid arrest after he was slapped with multiple cases, including sedition charges over an interview with Shahbaz Gill—a close aide of former prime minister Imran Khan—during which Gill made comments deemed offensive to the military.
Alleging harassment by state institutions as well as threats to his life, he moved to Dubai in August and later relocated to Kenya.
The channel ARY for which Sharif worked for the last eight years, was briefly taken off air in August for airing “false, hateful, and seditious” content.
The channel announced in late August it was parting ways with the journalist, who was one of its top prime-time news anchors.
Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its “sadness” at Arshad Sharif’s death, adding in the statement that they were in touch with Kenyan officials regarding the matter.
The dead body of slain journalist Arshad Sharif will be arriving in Pakistan on Wednesday, and the burial will take place on Thursday, as per his wife, Javeria Siddique.
Addressing Twitter on Monday, Javeria Siddique, the wife of journalist Arshad Sharif, who was shot to death by police in Kenya early morning on Monday, said that the dead body of her late husband will be arriving in Pakistan, and the burial will take place in the H-11 cemetery on Thursday.
