ISLAMABAD, Oct 19 (Online): Wife of slain senior journalist Arshid Sharif has registered murder case of her husband against Kenyan Elite police unit in Kenya.
In the case she has charged Kenyan police with murdering her husband Arshid Sharif who was shot dead by officers of Kenyan general service unit on October 23, 2012.

Javeria Siddique wife of Arshid Sharif while making Attorney General of Kenya, National Police service and director public prosecution respondents has requested the officers involved in the murder of Arshid Sharif be put to trial and they be awarded punishment.
The court should issue directive to Attorney General (AG) to apologize to family members of Arshid Sharif within seven days of court’s orders, admit facts, accept responsibility and issue written apology at public level.
The widow of Arshid Sharif while confirming the matter said I have registered case in Nairobi for seeking justice in murder case of my husband.

But Kenyan government never apologized. They never contacted us.
