Zambia Catholic Bishops lament ‘restrictions on democratic freedom’
In Zambia, Catholic bishops are raising the alarm about increased arrests and prolonged detentions of opposition leaders. In a letter signed by all 11 bishops, they lamented what they see as significant restrictions on democratic freedom. They say this is illustrated by charges being brought against at least six opposition leaders, as well as journalists and civil society activists, for political activities.
