We had a chance to see him, we are allowed to see him and chat with him, he is not too well, he is not too well, he is not the first time that he is in custody and of course he has informed us that he was misquitted, was harassed and tortured, something that is new to this position of democracy of ours. It's very unfortunate that the police are having this desperate experience, all to try and gag freedom of speech, all the alias we are doing is just to use this month. We all know it's not even a year now, it's like over a year, it's that the IPND has been empowered. Look at how many times President Akande ishilema himself, you know, many statements against President Akande about how many times he has been treated like this. What's different about what Ali is doing, what they were doing? It's very surprising that of course, like you said before, our friends of the IPND, they say one thing and do the exact opposite. They are preaching the rule of law and they are saying they will change things for the better. Is this what it means to change things for the better, beginning to torture suspects. Even when a suspect is in detention, he still enjoys his full rights, torturing a suspect is against international and regional law. And the continued violation of people's rights in this country must be stopped, it must be stopped immediately. We call upon, in essence, the president to immediately instruct the police to stop violating people's rights even when they are in custody. So this is not what Zambians are voted for. When we remind the Zambian people that the IPND government will not be up to speed, that time people thought we just politically, but it's now evident. It's very clear that you have a government that is governing fear, a government that is governing with a lot of paranoia. So I think this is where we have a problem. I'm sure for now we are used. The president says within 24 hours, within 48 hours, the last time he was held up to one week. The president is here. I mean, there's this human in detention. So you should wait that against what the president says. And then you'll have your own comment regarding how he's governing this country. He says one thing and does exactly that. We do not know, there's not even a mention. When you talk to the officers here, they will simply tell you they are providing accommodation. And somebody else is dealing with the case. Have you charged him? No, we are not the ones that charge him. So that's what we are. But of course we have instructed our lawyers. We are proceeding with speed to try and find means to secure his liberty as a headist. Some perception from society, some sections of society, that PF, the patriotic government, they are not sponsoring Mr Karayani to issue all these documents. Are you in a position to comment on this whole perception? Shilufia Dali is not new to this political space. When President Dhaka and the HLM was incarcerated, Komri Dali was on radio, he was on TV, he was on Facebook every day, speaking for President Dhaka and the HLM. So was it the PF that was sponsoring him to speak for President Dhaka and the HLM? You know, people should not live by double standards. They hypocrisy that they are witnessing to them as we stopped. Because he was speaking for President Dhaka and the HLM against the PF. So were the PF sponsoring HLM, Dali is just a strong individual. He is a strong individual, patriotic individual who speaks against the use of the system. He doesn't need to be sponsored unless you don't know who he is. So we came here to support him. I mean Komri Dali is here. Komri Dali was here yesterday. So are they the ones sponsoring him? No, he is just a Zambian that must be supported. And to continue to support all the strong voices from both women, men and women of this country that stand up against the use of the UPMDs. So there is no truth in that at all. Because Dali is speaking against the bad governance of the UPMDs. Even you must be speaking against the bad governance of the UPMDs. I don't think it's only you so you are speaking against the bad governance of the UPMDs. Everybody is speaking against it. If somebody else came to me today and said they are governing the country well, I would have to check that person. So there is nothing unusual about what Chikwenda Dali is doing. It may be a proper platform where he is able to reach people in their house and communicate. But otherwise we all have the message that Chikwenda Dali is. We don't know anyone who has been in power. We have seen so many arrests for that position. Does this make you know that as a position to say in the next years to come we might see a number of positions that have been placed in the project. Well, of course, if BNDM is guided, they think that by affecting so many arrests, they are going to suppress the voices. The answer is no. We will never stop talking. We will never stop talking. In fact, we have more voices joining now because they realize that the more we keep quiet, the more they continue to oppress and violate people's rights. So I think the best thing they see and must do is to go back to their drawing board. What's making people speak against them so much? When they were in opposition, they got a lot of support. So go to point eight. But why should they be going through what they are going through now? It's the only political part to have lost, to have to lose popularity within a year to this extent. I've been on the political arena for quite some time now. I think my colleagues will agree with me. There is no single political party that lost so much popularity within a year. Go back to 2011, 2012, during presence at that time. I mean, everybody, the first two, three years, you're all celebrated dancing and enjoying yourselves. Are you doing that now? Are the farmers clapping for the UPND? Are the youths still clapping for the UPND? Are the civil servants clapping for the UPND? So it's the only... Are the journalists now? Yes. Thank you very much. Imagine that the fourth estate, yourselves, you are here to just cover events as they are. You're not exaggerating anything. Why should you be arrested for holding a camera and reporting on the events as they happen? The UPND themselves are sending to power with the help of the journalists. You follow them everywhere they went. The president of HLMA was incarcerated. You covered him each and every day, and he was released. So what's wrong with innocent people and his colleague going to cover the events as they were unfolding at the house. So, well, our democracy has gone to the lowest. This is the lowest it was not expected to be so under the UPND. But unfortunately, ladies and gentlemen, that's where we are now. To help the leader of the opposition, there's a very serious concern that has risen the beating, brutal beating and torture of Chilufia Diary. It's not an yes, he has confirmed it to ourselves. He's in need of medical attention and he's been asking for this medical attention since yesterday is unwell and he needs to see a doctor. For me, it's a warning to president HLMA. The issue of torture is an offence against human rights and international law. It's not a small matter. We heard when Shabichile Kwa was beaten and brutally tortured, people looked away thinking maybe because it's a murder suspect. We saw those two young people from Chiengi, the youth that were beaten by soldiers who were promised that the soldiers would be punished. There's never been any punishment communicated on those soldiers that brutally beat those kids in Chiengi. Now we have an opposition leader in Mr. Chilufia Diary who was brutally beaten. If president HLMA is here, he needs to call upon the Inspector General of Police to suspend the officers that were involved in this matter. Even charge them because torture is illegal even under our criminal jurisdiction. It's not allowed. And like I said, it's an international offence on human rights. It's not something very small. So now there is a consistent pattern that this government actually tortures people and another cause they should immediately allow Chilufia Diary to seek medical attention. You do not want a suspect to die in a custody, especially after you've beaten him. So for us, I think that is a matter of very serious concern. If it's okay, I would only add that what is giving UPND pressure are two very bad qualities. One, arrogance. And secondly, it is their lack of understanding of governance. These two things put together is causing them to do what they are doing. Chilufia Diary is not a problem. The problem is a minister saying that there is medicine in health facilities and yet there is nothing. The problem is a minister telling the country via the flow of parliament that we are going to distribute fertilizer and there is no fertilizer. So these two matters is what the president should focus on. The arrogance of the UPND and its lack of knowledge in terms of governance. He deals with these two issues. His government may be projected a little better. You, the fourth estate, are very key for two things, transparency and secondly accountability. You tell me how else we are going to illuminate the ills of the UPND if you are not allowed to cover. Should you be arrested for simply coming to cover politicians or other economic or social players who are actually trying to do some good stuff for the country, I think that's very unfortunate. But also the government that the Zambian people have put in place must be held accountable by the people who have deposited their power into them. And to do that you must have information. This information can only be accessed if we allow the media to be able to operate freely. So I'm calling upon the government actually to stop intimidating the media. The same way that I'm calling upon the government to focus on the things that are really really giving them pressure. It's not what you're talking about. It's what you are doing. If you stop doing that and begin to do the things which the Zambian people want you to do, the pressure will be gone. But unfortunately arrogance and ignorance is what will kill you. Yeah, very well. So let me try and quote one of the tweets that was done on the 10th of March 2021 by President Hakaenda Ichilema. They have temporarily taken away your freedom of speech and expression through the rash cybersecurity bill to stop you questioning the incompetence and corruption. Once you elect us this August, we will be to repeal this bad law. Where are we today? See, we have gone beyond 1964. In 1964, before 1964, our founding fathers, freedom fighters were treated exactly this way you see. Where the Ubando people from Tinsari take them to Minilunga. The Ubando people, take them to southern province and in the dotted places where they have no access for help or even being seen by their people. How can they get... Look, here where we are. You've never heard of this police post, Musamba police post. Everyone is asking, where is it? In the middle of... Literally, you see? To make sure that they hide these people like they did in the old colonial time. This is very unfair. I think that we have really gone many steps backward. But like my colleagues have said, really, how does putting President Shufiatayari in sales going to reduce the price of fertilizer which was promised? How will the putting of President Shufiatayari in sales going to reduce the prices of fuel, the high cost of living? So if they think that they can silence us, we want to tell them that the spirit of our founding fathers, the spirit of our freedom fighters is here. We will not be intimidated, we are going to rise and to fight this. We hoped that he was going to repeal the laws that he talked about. But where we are today, he is actually... Relying on the same bad laws. Relying on the same bad laws that he claimed to... Even misapplying that. Misapplying that with impunity. So this is very sad and we want to assure you that even in the media when they attack you, they have attacked us. So we are moving as a one front. Thank you very much.
