Zambian opposition leader nearly arrested during court session


Zambian police officers interrupted a court session on 15 January to arrest opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema, only for the magistrate to and his defence lawyers to ask them to leave on the grounds that it is unlawful to arrest someone in the middle of a court session. Hichilema was then asked to report to the police station for questioning. Hichilema is being tried for alleging that the PF government was training its youths in military warfare with the help of the Sudanese militia in Darfur. Civil society groups have condemned the actions by the police.
