By Leah Ngoma
Police in Lusaka have arrested Socialist Party President Fred M`membe for the offence of seditious practices.
Addressing Journalists at Twin Palm Police Station this morning, Dr. Mmembes Lawyer Simon Mwila says his client has been arrested following an article posted on his Facebook page on 16th July 2024, alleging corruption and other abuses involving Zambian authorities and Democratic Republic of Congo-DRC President Felix Tshisekedi.
Mr. Mwila says Dr. M`membe is currently in police custody and efforts to secure a police bond for him are underway.
Meanwhile, Party Vice President Cosmas Musumali has alleged that the continued arrests of opposition political leaders under the current regime are meant to intimidate and silence them.
