Sardar Arif Muhammad Shahid, a very popular leader from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (POK), was also one of the most vocal critics of Pakistani policy in POK. He was shot dead outside his residence in Rawalpindi in 2013.
The assassin pumped four bullets into Shahid's body and left him in a pool of blood. Pakistani Media, often characterised by its coverage of crime in the country, kept a conspicuous silence.
Neither the Political figures nor the Army condemned Shahid's murder and three years later, Pakistani State has buried his case.
Family members and others closely associated with Shahid claim that he, for long, had remained under observation and the books written by him were seized.
Known for his criticism of Pakistani policies in POK, Sardar Arif often castigated the role played by ISI in fomenting violence and how that had gained ISI notoriety around the world.
Kashmiris, over the last two weeks, have been protesting in London, Bradford and Berlin asking for justice.
