THE FREE PRESS INITIATIVE (FPI) DISCLOSES ITS FIRM OPPOSITION TO THE CYBER CRIMES AND CYBER SECURITY BILLS CURRENTLY TABLED BEFORE THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
FPI EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JOAN CHIRWA ALSO CALLED FOR THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE ANTI-TERRORISM BILL, CITING SIGNIFICANT THREATS TO DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.
MS. CHIRWA STATED THAT THE CYBER SECURITY BILL AND THE CYBER CRIMES BILL, IF ENACTED IN THEIR CURRENT FORM, WILL NOT ADDRESS EXISTING FRUSTRATIONS AROUND HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION VIOLATIONS FACILITATED BY THE 2021 LAW.
INSTEAD, THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO RESTRICT ONLINE ACTIVITIES, PROSECUTE INDIVIDUALS EXPRESSING DISSENTING OPINIONS, AND UNDERMINE THE PRIVACY AND SECURITY OF CITIZENS.
SHE ADDED THAT SUCH LEGISLATION WOULD BE A DEVASTATING BLOW TO ZAMBIA'S HARD-WON FREEDOMS AND PROGRESS IN PROMOTING DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS.
MS. CHIRWA URGED BROADER CONSULTATIONS WITH CIVIL SOCIETY, MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO ENSURE THAT ANY LEGISLATION PASSED REFLECTS THE VALUES OF DEMOCRACY, GOOD GOVERNANCE, AND RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS.
SHE ALSO NOTED THAT GIVING CIVIL SOCIETY ONLY TWO DAYS TO PREPARE SUBMISSIONS AND MAKE PRESENTATIONS BEFORE THE PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE DELIBERATING ON THESE BILLS IS INSUFFICIENT.

GEORGE MWIINGA - NAKATINDI WARD COUNCILLOR.
SPECIAL INTERVIEW | POST-ALL WHITE PARTY.
MR. PAUL MICHAEL AKAPULCO BAR AND RESTAURANT DIRECTOR. (WHO HAS ALSO COME WITH HIS BUSINESS PARTNER ACKY)
THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION CALLS FOR EFFICIENT COLLABORATION AND COOPERATION BETWEEN THE ZAMBIA POLICE SERVICE AND THE NATIONAL PROSECUTION AUTHORITY, TO PREVENT ARBITRARY ARRESTS AND DETENTIONS OF SUSPECTS.
IN A STATEMENT, COMMISSION SPOKESPERSON MWELWA MULEYA, SAID POLICE CELLS ARE MEANT TO BE HOLDING ROOMS FOR A SHORT PERIOD FOR SUSPECTS AWAITING COURT APPEARANCES.
MR. MULEYA STRESSED THAT OVER-DETENTION OF SUSPECTS WITHOUT TRIAL IS A VIOLATION OF THE RIGHT TO LIBERTY.
HE EXPLAINED THAT UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT PURPOSES, EXTRA-TERRITORIAL DETENTION OR TRANSFERRING SUSPECTS FROM ONE DISTRICT OR PROVINCE TO ANOTHER MUST STOP.
MR. MULEYA ALSO CONDEMNED THE GROWING TREND OF ABUSING FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION THROUGH HATE SPEECH AND INSULTING LANGUAGE, PARTICULARLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
HE STATED THAT HATE SPEECH IS NOT PART OF FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION BUT A VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND A CRIME WITH PRESCRIBED PUNISHMENT.
