Rights Group Urges Zambia to Halt Crackdown
Human Rights Watch called on Zambia to end post-election repression, per Al Jazeera. The group reported violent crackdowns on opposition members and activists following the October 24 vote.
The rights organization documented cases of arbitrary arrests, intimidation, and restrictions on freedom of assembly, citing local authorities' actions as part of a broader pattern of suppressing dissent in the capital Lusaka.
International observers have expressed concern about the deteriorating political climate in Zambia, with several nations urging the government to respect democratic norms and human rights, according to BBC notes.
