Danish Siddiqui’s parents say International Criminal Court should investigate his killing

Award winning photo-journalist Danish Siddiqui was killed in a "deliberate targeted attack" and the International Criminal Court (ICC) should investigate the case, said Avi Singh, a leading lawyer who is representing the parents of the late Mr .Siddiqui in a case at the ICC.

Mr. Siddiqui's parents, Prof. Akhtar Siddiqui and Mrs. Shahida Akhtar have filed a complaint with the Prosecutor of ICC demanding to investigate the brutal murder and to bring those responsible for the incident - including senior Taliban commanders - to justice.

Mr. Singh said Danish Siddiqui was targeted as he was a journalist and an Indian and targeting someone on such grounds amounts to a crime that should not go unpunished.
