The Zambia Police Service has denied claims that three suspects arrested on August 28 for seditious practices and unlawful assembly have been detained without charge and denied police bond.
According to a statement released by Police Public Relations Officer Rae Hamoonga, the three suspects – Jayson Mwanza, Thomas Zulu, and Chanda Chikwanka – were duly charged and arrested on August 30 for seditious practices and unlawful assembly.
He says that the suspects are scheduled to appear in court and are being held because no credible sureties have come forward to sign bonds for them, unlike the circulating claims.
Hamoonga said that the police have followed standard legal procedures and has urged the public to disregard any misinformation claiming that the suspects have been denied their legal rights.
The police has assured that the suspects are being detained legally and their case is progressing through the appropriate legal channels.
