Zambia: Authorities must free journalist arrested over social media posts
Amnesty International has called on Zambian authorities to immediately release a journalist arrested for social media posts. The journalist was detained over content shared online, which authorities deemed offensive or illegal. Amnesty International argues the arrest violates freedom of expression and urges the government to drop charges. The case highlights ongoing concerns about press freedom and digital rights in Zambia, where critics say authorities increasingly target journalists and activists for online speech. The organization demands the journalist's unconditional release and an end to harassment of media workers.
