Kenyan Government Forced to Pay for “Mistaken Identity” Murder

Kenyan Government Forced to Pay for “Mistaken Identity” Murder
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Kenyan government has been ordered to shell out 10 million shillings ($78,300) to the family of a well-known Pakistani journalist, Arshad Sharif, who was gunned down by police in Nairobi in 2022. This comes after a Kenyan court ruled in favor of Sharif’s widow, Javeria Siddique, who sued the paramilitary General Service Unit for her husband’s wrongful death.

Arshad Sharif, a TV journalist who escaped Pakistan fearing for his life, met his untimely death in October 2022. Kenyan authorities claim it was a tragic case of mistaken identity. Allegedly, police were on the hunt for car thieves and opened fire on Sharif’s vehicle when it failed to stop at a roadblock.

However, a detailed 600-page report by a fact-finding team from Pakistan paints a different picture. After reconstructing the crime scene and scrutinizing Sharif’s phones and computers, the team concluded that his death was a premeditated murder.

The background of Sharif’s escape from Pakistan adds another layer of controversy. The journalist fled his homeland after being slapped with multiple treason charges. One of these charges accused him of spreading a message from an official in Imran Khan’s former government, allegedly urging armed forces to rebel. Both Sharif and the accused official have vehemently denied these claims.

The court’s decision to award compensation highlights the ongoing debate over police accountability and the protection of journalists worldwide. While Kenyan officials maintain their stance on mistaken identity, the evidence presented suggests a far more sinister plot, leaving many questioning the integrity of those sworn to protect and serve.
