On 14 August, opposition member George Chisanga was arrested during a security operation at a property linked to opposition presidential candidate Brian Mundubile in Kabulonga, Lusaka. George Chisanga – a member of the Tonse-Pamodzi Alliance political party, was arrested alongside two members of another opposition party, the National Reconciliation Party for Unity and Prosperity (NRPUP), while former cabinet minister and NRPUP member Mutotwe Kafwaya was fatally shot during the same security operation. George Chisanga is currently being detained at Kabwe Maximum security prison without charge. The Zambian authorities must immediately release George Chisanga as he is detained solely for the peaceful exercise of his human rights.
