HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST DEMANDS APOLOGY FROM THE STATE FOR MUMBI PHIRI`S WRONG DETENTION



By Sanfrossa Mberi and Chileshe Mwango

Human Rights Activist Brebner Changala is demanding an apology from the state on behalf of former Patriotic Front Deputy Secretary General Mumbi Phiri for wrong detention.


Police in Kawambwa have released Ms. Phiri, who was facing alleged aggravated robbery charges following a decision by the Director of Public Prosecutions-DPP- Gilbert Phiri to decline prosecution due to lack of evidence.



Ms. Phiri had been arrested in connection with allegations of stealing K20,000 in cash and an Infinix phone valued at K3,800 from Boldwin Chilambikwa of Kawambwa district in Luapula province during campaigns for the Kawambwa parliamentary by-election last month.



But Mr. Changala says it was clear from the beginning that Ms. Phiri was innocent as the charge she was given was not coinciding with the crime that was alleged to have been committed.



Meanwhile, Patriotic Front Vice President Given Lubinda says the party is not surprised with the dismissal of charges and release from incarceration of Ms. Phiri as it was always known that the charges of aggravated robbery and assault earlier leveled against her were intended to victimize her.

  1. Says the seditionist….Changala will sing any song…..what was he singing pre 2021? Now his tune has changed cause his children are not getting preferential treatment in the Job selection…

  2. Do you still call this changala a human rights activist sure. This man like father chikoya does not in any way deserve such a title. They/he is irrational and collapsed character in as far as human rights are concerned.

    He is talking of an apology from the state, may be his mind has corruptrd him because of the love of money – kasaka kandalama frpm ECL and the evil PF.

    This same mumbi Phiri during the 2016 presidential and General elections fabricated burglary cases against Hon. Mwaliteta and the four others. Hon. Obvious Mwaliteta spent more than one or two years in prison under LUNGUS PF in government, did you changala demand for an apology by then from your PF thugs in government?

    Bakalambaaaaa! Ifintu fimbi kuyicindika namukula beniko serious nefyaku Church not politics aweee! Becsuse you are not fitting well in it

  3. At one time I thought it was the visiting UN Rapporteur. But then reading deeper it is Bread Changala.

    Ba Bread you ain’t an activist but ECL PF faction Cadre.
    You are like Salt that has lost its test or a word that has lost its meaning.

    Mumbi Phiri likes noises and poking sleeping Lions.
    In 2016 she led a group that intercepted Mwaliteta and friends and slapped them with the case of aggravated robbery..?
    After more than a year in prison DPP found them with no case.

    Mumbi Phiri is a problem and should refrain from organizing crack down squads!
