Violence Has No Place in Zambian Politics: Condemning the Attack on Hon Given Lubinda"

by: Mathews Innovation

I, strongly condemn the brutal attack and abduction of Hon Given Lubinda, the Acting President of the Patriotic Front, by UPND thugs in Kabwe today. Such violent acts are unacceptable and undermine the principles of democracy and human rights.

We urge the police to take immediate action to locate Hon Given Lubinda and ensure his safe release. We also call on the authorities to investigate this incident thoroughly and arrest anyone found to be involved, including those seen in videos or photos of the attack.

The use of violence to suppress political opposition is a serious threat to our democracy. We demand that all political leaders and supporters exercise restraint and respect for the law.

We stand in solidarity with the Patriotic Front and all those who believe in peace, tolerance, and respect for human rights.
