POLICE DENY HARRY KALABA ENTRY INTO IBEX POLICE STATION TO VISIT DETAINED PF MFUWE MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
By Fox Reporter
CITIZEN First president Harry Kalaba has been denied entry into Ibex Police Station to visit detained Mfuwe Member of Parliament Maureen Mabonga.
Armed Police officers threatened Kalaba and his entourage of arrests and detention if they proceeded to enter Ibex Police Station.
President Hakainde Hichilema has increased his crackdown on opposition political party leaders, the church and civil society organisations in a bid believed to scare and weaken the opposition, the church and other stakeholders in the country from speaking out.
President Hichilema’s government, the UPND has proved to be intolerant to divergent views, using the law of Seditious Practices in its effort to increase power.
The crack down is targeted at critical voices opposed to the dictatorship being exhibited by President Hichilema.
So far, Human rights activists, Brebner Changala, FDD President Edith Nawakwi, Lumenzi Independent Member of Parliament, Munir Zulu, PF’s Mfuwe MP, Maureen Mabonga and Dr. Dan Pule are all under arrests.
A fortnight ago, PF Secretary General Raphael Nakacinda was also jailed for 18 months under a repealed law of defamation of the President.
The international community has expressed concern over the happenings in Zambia, with the Catholic Church and UCZ not spared by the UPND regime.
United Kwacha Alliance (UKA) Chairperson for communicatio. Jackson Silavwe has confirmed the arrests, detention and the deteriorating human rights and democratic tenancies in Zambia, describing the current situation as degenerating into a failed state.
Yes Z.P. act.
Hichilema is not weakening opposition, he is actually making opposition bigger and stronger because he’s not a popular leader! In addition to that he has finished his Upnd, it’s dead on the ground! So whatever he’s doing to opposition leaders is making himself more and very unpopular!
Good show, our police. Let no one in.
Your Gestapo are only following ze orderz !!!
Under PF’s Home Affairs minister, Mr. Kampyongo, we would have been talking about a few casualties, dead or wounded.
That’s why we can’t develop. The opposition is too selfish, they want to be politicking all the time even to the extent of deliberately committing crimes and expecting not to be arrested. Every body that is in jail right now is deserving. You can’t be committing crimes with impunity and expect to be let free just because you are a politician or fake human rights advocate. That’s out let everyone committing crimes regardless of their social standing in society be held accountable
But you people, for over 2 years, UPND as party in government tolerated your nonsense.
Because they gave you the latitude, you began to think you were in power.
Whenever you talk, you do not provide alternatives to the governance of the nation, other than to fight HH and his government.
Your trajectory is known, and now the police have to be firm on you.
