EFF reports Govt to Amnesty International

By MUBITA KATETE

THE Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has filed a formal complaint with Amnesty International, accusing the United Party for National Development (UPND) government of weaponising the country’s legal and justice systems to suppress opposition voices.

This move follows a series of alleged human rights violations and the erosion of the rule of law under President Hakainde Hichilema’s administration.

In a letter to Dr. Agnès Callamard, the Secretary General of Amnesty International, EFF president, Kasonde Mwenda outlined a pattern of arbitrary arrests, physical assaults, and the manipulation of state machinery to stifle dissent.

Amnesty International has confirmed receipt of the report, that it is under review and that more information may CLICK HERE TO READ MORE
