A Kenyan court has ruled that the fatal shooting of Pakistani journalist Arshad Sharif by a police officer in 2022 was arbitrary and unconstitutional. 

High Court Judge Stella Mutuku on Monday found that the killing that happened on October 23, 2022 violated the scribe's right to life, right to equal benefit and protection of the law, and right to dignity, among others.
