Javeria Siddique, the widow of Pakistani journalist Arshad Sharif, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Kenya's General Service Unit.
The widow of a prominent Pakistani journalist who was killed a year ago in Kenya filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against an elite Kenyan police unit she accuses of the wrongful death of her husband. Javeria Siddique said she filed the lawsuit in Nairobi to get justice for her husband Arshad Sharif, a well-known journalist in his home country Pakistan. Sharif was shot dead on October 23, 2022 by officers from Kenya's General Service Unit, according to Pakistani authorities.
The investigators’ 592-page report, issued last year, concluded that the Kenyan police issued contradictory statements following the killing of Sharif. Pakistan’s military has denied any involvement in the killing of Sharif, and said it would support investigators examining who was behind it. According to Kenyan police's website, the General Service Unit is tasked with providing security to the president and at strategic points, controlling civil disturbance and counter-terrorism.
Kenya’s National Police Service and the Independent Policing Oversight Authority, a body responsible for holding the police to account, did not respond to AP’s requests to comment on the lawsuit.
