NewzSeven international and regional legal organizations have formally demanded an inquiry into the Zambian government's conduct following the recent national election. The groups allege that the administration of President Hakainde Hichilema engaged in the closure of courts, the deployment of the military, and the seizure of passports during the post-election period.
The demand highlights concerns regarding the rule of law and judicial independence in Zambia. By calling for an official investigation, these legal bodies seek to address allegations of state interference and the restriction of civil liberties in the wake of the electoral process.
