4:31 pm
a moment. class exiled pakistani journalist alshaun sharif is shot dead in kenya. local authorities say it was an accident, but suspicions are growing and so on. demands for a thorough investigation. ah, i'm jared rate in berlin. thanks so much for your company today. opposition and rights group say as strikes by me and mars military, you have killed at least 50 people. the strikes are the deadliest since the military seized power last year and occurred. the attacks happened at a concert in the northern catchin state, the victims belonging to the regions ethnic minority. they'd been attending an anniversary celebration of the main kitchen, political organization. these are pictures of the aftermath me on mars shadow. national unity government has urged the u. n. and the international community to
4:32 pm
intervene to stop the fighting. that's great to me on my since the cook sil robertson is deputy director, full azure at human rights watch in bangkok, i asked him what he had to say about the global response to this attack and other abuses by me on mass military. well, it's shocking how underwhelming, of the reaction of the international community has been about this. i mean, it's almost like the international community has gotten used to daily a violations and massacre is happening in myanmar. ah, you know, this was in ukraine. it would be front page all around the world, but because it's in a remote part of our northern myanmar, hardly anybody pays any attention. the reality is that this is a military that is waging war on its people. it is carrying out these kind of attacks with no accountability whatsoever. and the international community, you know, issues
4:33 pm
a few sort of weak statements or condemning what happened and then moves on instead of taking the kind of action that's really needed to, to stop these abuses once and for all. now you're talking about action, how can me and mas military realistically be held accountable for, for the violence and repression? well, we need to break the log jam at the un security council. we need to have an international arms embargo or we need to have authorization for a wide ranging sanctions against them are military in its interests. and we need to get more member states of the u. n. a to step up and undertake pressure against them. our military, that also includes us some of the other states in the southeast asia region, which i've been sort of looking the other way are whistling past the graveyard is the situation m jamara gets much worse. so, you know, there needs to be a concerted international response rather than the sort of sporadic knee jerk
4:34 pm
response that we've seen so far that has clearly not come up to the levels needed to, to stop these abuses. now you've mentioned you're not happy with howl southeast asian countries have responded. a foreign ministers from southeast asia will be shortly holding a special meeting in indonesia on the violence. and me on my what should or would you like to see come out of that? well, i think the, the, the 5 point consensus that i've seen has been trying to pursue for the last, almost 2 years in myanmar it has to be recognized that that hasn't failed strategy . that depended on good well from the myanmar military junta. and that there's been none of that. so it's time to move to a different policy one where the frontline states are willing to actually exert pressure against me and more. and that's not just a, you know, dis, inviting myanmar from all asi and events. but it also means undertaking actions are on trade and sanctions are dealing with myanmar as well. otherwise,
4:35 pm
asi on is going to have a perennial, a problem. it's going to have a pariah state as one of its members who continue to commit atrocities and every time another country or another block comes to talk to us. and all they want to talk about is myanmar. and i think osteo recognizes that, that is a very serious risk, that the problems in myanmar risk derailing a regional progress and coordinated action. and so i think now it's the time for asi and to recognize that they have to get serious about myanmar, rather than continuing to push this issue down the road that was filled robinson, the deputy director of human rights watch in asia, feel great to have your insights as always, thank you. thank you. ah, now to a killing that stunned the journalism community and why the public in pakistan, sharif was a top tv news anchor and critic of the powerful military establishment. he fled to

4:37 pm
met his death on sunday evening just outside to nairobi. the policing can you have since owned up to the shooting is the dent we'd see say was a case of mistaken identity. they were looking for a contract, a vehicle. but the license plate numbers did not nearly much with their one be shot at the pakistan high commissioner to kenya on monday was at the morgue, where the autopsy has been conducted. and she called for a speedy investigation into the incidental that led to eyeshadow death. she also promised that a shudder sheriff body would be at lifted to pakistan for a proper burial. an investigation has since commenced on the shooting incident. and i should sheriff's vehicle towed to the nearest willis station. she likes marine give it will billy i spoke with veteran journalist much eula john, who is a prominent critic of pakistan's judiciary, and military who broadcasts on his youtube channel, m j t v. he knew arshad sharif. well,
4:38 pm
i asked him for his reaction to sharif killing this is very sad that he project. i know it's, it's rave from a lot of the 6. yes. actually we had family. my father and his father. friend. we used to visit each about families for a long time and that we worked together and one of the don news television channels . and it's love about he was a better chief than i was his deputy better chief. so when i heard about this project, a fascination, i immediately related that through the end, which sunday journalists are living in pakistan and but people have come to which we've had to face and that he had to leave the country. it is very unfortunate that i've had to leave bucket under difficult circumstances. there are many cases and
4:39 pm
they're registered by the current government against him. and the establishment military establishment was also not happy. i was never happy with many of journalists like us, but the last 67 years we have been facing another pressure and prosecution at the head of the previous government as a generalist. really vulnerable to many pressure and intimidation. that's depressed. that's good, not bad. and in some cases and it's not about the incident rather. 5 in threatening, getting the previous 5 minutes on the con. and one of the journalists was that shot and he was injured upside. and that journalist was brought inside his house. the journalist i'm and me,
4:40 pm

4:41 pm
oh, the city is a very long message. i think the people at large end, they just come in the, in particular, never to speak against the powerful government and the establishment. it is unfortunate that we see today not among us and his family has been waiting for him and very difficult at spectrum stuff is that he had made the country. but the message is very loud. the same message that never speak out to be boxed with establishment and the government because the establishment is more probable than even the government. so this is the message. unfortunately, sir, if i can ask you,
4:42 pm
can, you know, authorities are saying that this was a case of mistaken identity from where you are in pakistan, not in kenya. do you don't believe this? i take it. why? being in packets? nobody will buy it. this utility of mistaken identity. i think this incident needs to be broke and investigated thoroughly. and then in a thought is what that, what it has to be a proper investigation. no police a party across so was been except a mistake. it say they have no intention even in baptism, that incident soft, but extra judicial kidding by the police. and so therefore, it is difficult to believe that the police official,
