 Police in Osaka have reported the one and caution statement from Rafa Omangani Nakachinda aged for three of farm number 1794 Kafiwa district. This is in regard to the statement he issued at High Court grounds on December 13, 2021 and the interview he had on one of the radio stations in Osaka. He has been warned and cautioned for the offence of defamation of the president contrary to section 69 of the Pinochote chapter 87 of the laws of thumb. He is currently detained in police custody. Thank you. For now, like we are saying, this has just happened. Yes, this has just happened and I've seen his lawyers around here. We don't know how far they will go with the beating of us if you will be released today or they are not. But what I can confirm is that he is in police custody currently. Why are you not even born? No, this has just happened because bond has got conditions. So if the case is bondable, he has to meet the bond conditions. It just never happened automatically. The bond has got conditions. Yes, so if the case is bondable, then he has to meet the bond conditions and there after we proceed. Yes. What's the situation in relation to the attack that happened here? Yes, we've got seven suspects who we have picked around here for discreditable conduct at the police station. So we have detained them at the police station. You saw the confusion that they caught here. They smashed the windows and caused confusion here. So we can't tolerate this at the police station. We have picked seven of them and we have detained them in police custody. So when you said that we smashed the windows, we can't tolerate this at the police station? Yes, there is a window behind the VSU office, which has been smashed and the fragments hit the officer who has been rushed to the University Hospital for treatment. So if you walk behind the building, you will see the window which has been smashed. Yes, please. And which one? Some suspects. We've got only one cell here. So we can't separate to say this suspect will be this side, the other suspect will be upstairs. No, we've got one cell here. Apart from that we've got the female cell and the juvenile cell. So these are not out? Yes, these are self-casted. This is a police, it's self-casted. So when you are in a police cell, you are in self-casted. Everything is okay. There's nothing to worry about. Please put on your mask so that I can take off my mask. If you all put on your masks, then I can take off my mask. So that all of you are protected. Dear members of the press, indeed on the 12th of August we changed government. However, I don't think that we changed rules, that we changed guidelines on how justice must be dispensed in the country. It is extremely worrisome for us that more and more of our people are being detained before police arrests. We recall the manna in which Hon. Bostev in Kampiongo was detained at this very police station only to be given free transport to Chinsali for him to go and be arrested. Soon after that will be given there by court. Today again Rafiwa Nakachinda has been detained before the police effect an arrest. What is extremely worrisome is that our legal team was instructed to go and ensure that Hon. Bostev Nakachinda is not held in the same cell with the UPND huligans who came to help stones at us here at the police station. Seven suspects have been arrested and they have been kept in a cell in which they are also putting Rafiwa Nakachinda. Naturally we have fear of what will happen to Rafiwa Nakachinda by him being exposed to those huligans who came to cause havoc because of the fact that Rafiwa Nakachinda was being interrogated. We were assured through our legal team that Rafiwa Nakachinda would be put in a separate cell away from those huligans because the police officers themselves appreciate the fact that those seven cannot be put together with Rafiwa Nakachinda. However, I am extremely disturbed to hear that the PRO of the police has preneged on that offer, on that promise and that is saying they only have two cells here and one for males and therefore Rafiwa Nakachinda is going to be kept in the same cell with his assailants. This is very worrisome. I want to say on behalf of the patriotic front that we are leaving the police station following the assurance that was given to our legal team by the officer in charge that they assure us of the safety of Rafiwa Nakachinda. Anything that's bound to happen to Rafiwa Nakachinda tonight has been put together in the same cell with the criminals who came and destroyed property here and injured our members will be squarely on the hands of the police. It is our hope that the police can provide security to all citizens. Nakachinda has not been condemned yet and I wonder whether you even managed to condemn me and it's not the police to condemn me. It is the courts of law to condemn me. It is therefore also total and becoming of any police officer to measure the degree of an offence. No police officer can say to you this is a very serious offence. It is only the courts that will determine that matter and the police must be asked not to be prejudicial on matters like this. Their role is to interrogate and go and prosecute before the courts of law. It is up to the judges to determine the severity of an offence because as far as Nakachinda is concerned as far as his legal team is concerned as far as we are concerned Nakachinda is not even supposed to have spent the night so I'd like to end by appealing to the police the country is watching. Anything that happens to Nakachinda if it's going to be roughed up tonight we shall hold the police squarely to blame. If you have questions my friends you may ask. Very good. Thank you very much and I want to end by saying we are also aware of the fact that a politician visited this police station following the incidents where kadas believed to be from Munali came here to stone people a minister came here tomorrow as we come to follow up the matter of Nakachinda we shall also follow up to make sure that those 7 criminals are presented before a court of law. In the same way that they are treating us they must treat their criminals there is no doubt that those criminals who came to stone us are UPND criminals they are criminals who are known by ourselves they are in the police they must not be released before they appear before the courts of law we shall take very keen interest in this matter because we want to make sure that everybody does what president had and he may say that he is going to govern by the rule of law and if he is going to govern by the rule of law what is good for a goose today we want to see that indeed the law is being applied without any kind of favoritism thank you very much
