Mjane wa mwanahabari maarufu wa Pakistan anaishtaki serikali ya Kenya kwa "mauaji yanayolengwa" ya mumewe.
Javeria Siddique aliwasilisha kesi jijini Nairobi siku ya Jumatano kwa mauaji ya kimakosa ya Arshad Sharif.
Mwanahabari huyo alipigwa risasi na kuuawa mwaka mmoja uliopita na maafisa wa polisi wa juu wa Kenya - Kitengo cha Huduma Mkuu (GSU).
Maafisa waliohusika katika kisa hicho walisema ni kisa cha utambulisho kimakosa, lakini mjane huyo amepinga madai ya GSU.
"Wanaweza kuiita utambulisho usio sahihi, lakini ninachukulia kuwa 'mauaji yaliyopangwa' kwa sababu tishio ambalo Arshad alipokea nchini Pakistan lilitekelezwa nchini Kenya," Bi Siddique aliambia BBC Kiurdu.
Aliongeza: "Sababu yoyote inaweza kuwa, ikiwa wanakubali kwamba walimuua, wanapaswa pia kuadhibiwa."
"Ninatumai kuwa mahakama za Kenya zitatupatia haki," alisema.
Aliliambia shirika la habari la AP kwamba anaamini mauaji ya mumewe yanahusishwa na ukosoaji wake kwa jeshi la Pakistani.
Sharif alikuwa amehamia Kenya mnamo Agosti 2022 ili kuepusha mashtaka mengi ya kukamatwa na uchochezi.
Bi Siddique alinukuliwa na AP akisema kuwa serikali ya Kenya haikuwahi kuwasiliana naye na kamwe "haikuonyesha wema wowote", na kuongeza, "Ni ukatili sana kwa serikali kutokuwa na hisia".
Kesi hiyo inasema kuwa Bi Siddique anataka polisi, mwanasheria mkuu na mkurugenzi wa mashtaka ya umma "kuadhibu na kuwashtaki maafisa wa polisi waliomuua mumewe".
Bi Siddique pia anataka mwanasheria mkuu "atoe msamaha wa umma, ikiwa ni pamoja na kukiri ukweli, na kukubali kuwajibika" kwa kifo cha Sharif.
Mwaka jana, wachunguzi wa Pakistani walichapisha ripoti ya kurasa 592 kufuatia kuuawa kwa Sharif na kuhitimisha kuwa polisi wa Kenya walitoa taarifa zinazokinzana kuhusu kesi hiyo.
Mamlaka ya Islamabad iliwashtaki wafanyabiashara wawili wa Pakistani wenye makao yake nchini Kenya ambao walikuwa mwenyeji wa Sharif kwa kuhusika katika mauaji hayo mnamo Desemba 2022.
Jeshi la Pakistan limekanusha kuhusika kwa vyovyote vile.

Pakistani journalist's widow sues Kenya
The widow of a prominent Pakistani journalist is suing the Kenyan government for the “targeted assassination” of her husband.
Javeria Siddique filed a lawsuit in Nairobi on Wednesday for the wrongful murder of Arshad Sharif.
The journalist was shot and killed a year ago by officers of Kenya’s elite police force - the General Service Unit (GSU).
The officers involved in the incident said it was a case of mistaken identity, but the widow has disputed the GSU’s claim.
"They can call it mistaken identity, but I consider it a 'planned targeted killing' because the threat Arshad received in Pakistan was executed in Kenya," Ms Siddique told BBC Urdu.
She added: "Whatever the reason may be, if they are admitting that they killed him, they should also be punished."
"I hope that the Kenyan courts will give us justice," she said.
She told the AP news agency that she believed her husband’s killing was linked to his criticism of the Pakistani military.
Sharif had moved to Kenya in August 2022 to avoid multiple arrest and sedition charges.
Ms Siddique is quoted by AP as saying that the Kenyan government never contacted her and never “showed any kindness”, adding, “It is really cruel for a government to be so insensitive”.
The lawsuit states that Ms Siddique wants the police, attorney general and director of public prosecutions “to punish and prosecute the police officers who killed her husband”.
Ms Siddique also wants the attorney general to “issue a public apology, including an acknowledgement of the facts, and acceptance of responsibility” for the death of Sharif.
Last year, Pakistani investigators published a 592-page report following the killing of Sharif and concluded that the Kenyan police issued contradictory statements regarding the case.
The Islamabad authorities charged two Kenya-based Pakistani businessmen who hosted Sharif with involvement in the killing in December 2022.
Pakistan’s military has denied any involvement.
