Zambia’s political system features regular multiparty elections, and some civil liberties are respected. While Zambia experiences democratic transfers of power, opposition parties have faced onerous legal and practical obstacles to fair competition. Restrictive laws that narrow political space and online speech remain in force.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS BY UPND GOVERNMENT

In May, Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) leader Edith Nawaki, Christian Democratic Party (CDP) leader Dan P**e, independent parliamentarian Munir Zulu, Patriotic Front (PF) lawmaker Maureen Mabonga, and civil rights activist Brebner Changala were arrested and faced charges of hate speech, espionage, and sedition for alleging state officials’ involvement in the abduction of independent lawmaker Emmanuel Jay Banda. (He later resurfaced.) The five were freed on bail shortly after being detained.
Police regularly denied or withheld permits for opposition rallies throughout the year, with officials often citing security concerns.
In August, UN rapporteur released a statement expressing concern about restrictions on peaceful demonstrations, and about arrests of opposition figures and rights defenders on spurious charges.
Journalists continued to face harassment and intimidation. Among other incidents, in March, journalist Kasebamashila Kaseba was arrested for criminal libel against a member of the ruling United Party for National Development (UPND), and reportedly held for four days. In April, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said police detained two journalists and forced them to delete interviews with opposition members. In June, police disrupted operations at Breeze FM in Chipata, after the station hosted PF Secretary General Raphael Nakachinda on a radio program. The case of the former head of state Son is an indication that this government is full of hatred and anger which might be the reason they have failed to deliver according to what citizens where promised. wake up Zambians!.

Which hospital is this?

If our republican president declared national disaster when things seemed not to be better when the PF was in power, of which even the late Honourable Tutwa Ngulube cautioned him if he is the head of state to do that because the only person to do that is the Republican President according to the powers vested in him by the constitution. Now why is it that he is not going where he was going and declare national disaster so that we can receive relief foods from international aid communities because things are not bad worse!..

An inspiration to young African Soldiers... Congratulations to New Nigerian Cheif of Army. Farouk Yahaya...

If youths are agents of change its cardinal for them to be adopted in governance and decision making positions especislly at local government level...
Seen the level of corruption that our country has gone through in the past years, where perpetrators are not even brought to book, where they are arrested and raleased without being prosecuted, all that has led to higher levels of poverty and economical fall. Its in the August elections that all youths should rise and choose there leaders wisely.

Lusambo is my beloved brother but he should stop ka fighting behavour... kikik.

It Would have been wiser if the goverment was to implement a policy whereby all companies are building houses for its employees.

we are not silent over the fired Nkwame Nkrumah Lectureres

every statement issued and published on this page is withing the law, without fear but in favor of a common Zambian and generations to come.

The constitution of our land on the Function of the Defense Forces (c ) stipulates that it shall co-operate with the appropriate civilian
authority in times of emergencies and natural
disasters.
Looking at the behavior which many military personnels portrayed during the clean up exercise over the cholera outbreak is unacceptable and painful because we are brothers and sisters from the same nation but they resolved to use force on innocent civilians, i was personally attacked and insulted by a Soldier when i was peacefully moving with my friend in town during the clean up time.
its shameful to the superiors who did not give the proper directions on how to execute their operations or do they not learn basic law during their trainings..
