“astonished by the horrific killing of Arshad Sharif, who paid with his life the highest price for expressing the truth. He was forced to flee the nation and go into hiding overseas, but he never stopped speaking out on social media and calling out the powerful. The entire country is in mourning right now.” In a tweet, Khan stated.
