 It is rudikras and ridiculous for the police to arrest Mr. Chimba Kambili when raw for assembly, under the command of Mr. Hagaendi Hichidema and his UPND government. What type of people are Democrats at this? As if the Democratic credentials, the United States is exalting and honouring them for? Or is it the anti-China and anti-Racha stance? The allowing of an African office in Zambia, they exalting and honouring them. The rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association are together with the rights to freedom of expression at the core of a Democratic and open society. These rights are clearly stated in the human rights instruments, including the UN Declaration of Human Rights, articles 21 and 22, and the ICCPR, as well as in the main region of rights instruments and our national constitution. Yet this government, or Mr. Hichidema and the UPND, who claim to be rebel Democrats, are further diminishing the enjoying of these fundamental rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association, and are increasingly becoming more and more repressive. Increasing restrictions on these rights and in doing so are violating international human rights standards. But while all these repressive practices are going on, the United States and these European partners are dead silent. Why? Double standards? Hippocrates? We demand the immediate release of Mr. Kamwili and his colleagues.
