Pakistan’s Supreme Court has appointed a panel of five judges to oversee an investigation into the killing of a prominent investigative journalist shot dead in Kenya.
Arshad Sharif was shot dead in October by police at a roadblock in the East African country in what the police said was a case of mistaken identity. Mr. Sharif was a well-known critic of Pakistan’s military and his killing caused outrage in the Asian country.
In a statement, the court said it had sought responses from the Pakistani ministries of foreign affairs and interior, as well as the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).
