Mohammad Zahoor: Murder of journalist Pavel Sheremet must be solved
People carry the coffin and a portrait of Belarus-born journalist Pavel Sheremet, who was killed in a car bomb in central Kiev three days ago, during a funeral ceremony at the church of All Saints in Minsk on July 23, 2016. Thousands of mourners in Belarus on July 23, 2016 bid farewell to prominent independent journalist Pavel Sheremet, killed by a car bomb in Kiev, as he was buried back in the homeland where he clashed with the authorities. Sheremet -- who was born in Minsk but took Russian citizenship -- was blown up while driving near his home in the heart of the Ukrainian capital on July 20.
On July 20, Kyiv was shaken by the news of the assassination of the respected Belarusian journalist Pavel Sheremet. Outside the ex-Soviet republics he was hardly known. Yet the murder is one that the West should reflect on, as it could do much to aggravate the Ukrainian-Russian conflict.
