Zambian ruling party accused of promoting violence

The Coalition for the Defence of Democratic Rights (CDDR) has released a video documenting how leaders of the ruling Patriotic Front promote violence. The CDDR has now urged President Micahel Sata to "stop its reckless manipulation of violence and show greater responsibility to uphold unity in the country". The video contains recordings of President Sata's orders to military and ministers urging them to engage in violence, as well as an assault against a former party member. The CDDR also denounced the government's arbitrary detainment of 13 prisoners, who continue to be held under politically motivated charges - some even with a death sentence hanging over them.
