The Zambia Police Service has issued a statement advising former Ambassador to Ethiopia, Emmanuel Mwamba, not to abuse his freedom of expression by calling for unauthorized mass protests and a national shutdown amid ongoing internal strife within the opposition Patriotic Front. According to Police Public Relations Officer Rae Hamoonga, Mr. Mwamba’s call for a national shutdown and mass protests, lacking proper authorization, could potentially lead to severe disruptions, harm to individuals, and damage to public and private property. Mr. Hamoonga emphasized that engaging in unlawful activities, especially those that disrupt public order or safety, constitutes a violation of the law and may result in legal consequences.
