ZAMBIAN GOVERNMENT EXPOSES OPPOSITION’S ALLEGED HUMAN RIGHTS FABRICATION SCHEME
The government has exposed an alleged scheme by opposition political parties to tarnish the country’s international reputation through fabricated claims of human rights abuses. Raphael Nakacinda, Secretary General of the opposition Patriotic Front (PF), accused the government of harassing opposition members. However, Information Minister Cornelius Mweetwa told VOA that the accusations were “dirty” and damaging to the government’s progress.
According to Mweetwa, the opposition’s strategy involves mobilising individuals to flood social media platforms and international organisations with false reports of human rights violations. Speaking during a press briefing in Mongu, he alleged that the opposition party even recruited people to pose as victims of abuse. “This scheme is not only malicious but also aims to undermine the many successes Zambia has achieved in the past three years,” Mweetwa remarked.
The minister also took the opportunity to highlight human rights violations committed under the PF’s previous administration. “The atrocities committed by the previous government were unprecedented in Zambia’s history,” he said, urging citizens to remain vigilant against disinformation campaigns.
Reiterating the government’s commitment to upholding human rights, Mweetwa called on the international community to reject these fabricated claims. He assured both Zambians and global partners that the allegations do not reflect the reality under the current administration.
UN human rights organizations are experienced and will not fall for garbage. U5 political clowns can keep fabricating stories during this trip, but the evidence of when human rights abuses were rampant is obvious – during Lungu’s time. And every UN organization is fully aware. Their revisionist history and lies only work on idiots.
Bring out all the footage that showed how they killed Lawrence and others.
Show footage of how they killed Mapenzi and others.
Show them footage of how they chased HH into the bush with blazing guns.
Show them footage of how they stoned and burned vehicles.
They are doing all this to avoid being followed for the crimes they committed but we urge the UN to let government root out criminals pausing as leaders.
Some Diplomats who were told not to meddle into the internal affairs of Zambia must tell their story as regards their experience in Zambia, especially the American Ambassador then.
LIES HAVE SHORT LEGS.
The self confessed instigator and purveyor of hate speech, Cornelius Mweetwa, needs to know that the UN Human Rights Rapporteur doesn’t visit a country investigating Human Rights abuses anyhow. Detailed consultations take place before such visits take place. Foreign embassies and diplomats accredited to that country are consulted.
The USA, Britain, European Union , Nordic Countries Know the rot happening in Zambia and do exchange notes with UN commission on Human Rights.
There’s therefore nothing like fabrications going on by the Opposition political parties. Is it a fabrication that almost all opposition political party leaders have been arrested and detained in Zambia during the last 3 years? Ms Mumbi Phiri was detained on trumped up charges . Was this a fabrication?
Gen Z kids were detained for 14 days. Was this a fabrication?
Arch Bishop Alick Banda had to intervene in the case of a young boy detained for months without bond or trial for ‘ insulting’ Mr Hakainde. Was this a fabrication? What of Kapwepwe ( Why me) who was languishing in prison for months without bond, bail or trial?
Mr Mweetwa know that we live in Zambia, and know perfectly well Hakainde’s Zambia…just like the USA, Britain, European Union, and indeed the UN Human Rights commission know.
