HRW demands end to Zambian crackdown on opposition

Human Rights Watch has called on Zambian authorities to end what it describes as a crackdown on opposition figures following the country’s recent elections. The rights group has raised concerns over arrests and alleged enforced disappearances involving opposition members. It has urged the government to disclose the whereabouts of those detained and ensure they are accounted for. Human Rights Watch says authorities must respect political freedoms and protect the rights of opposition figures. Al Jazeera reported on the organisation’s call for accountability over the alleged abuses.
