Zambia: Opposition Leader Charged With Treason After Post-Election Crackdown
Zambian opposition leader Brian Mundubile has been charged with treason along with 17 others after a disputed election, with authorities alleging an armed insurgency plan. Mundubile was arrested following a crackdown that included a Lusaka raid that killed a former cabinet minister; his NRPUP denies the claim as Hakainde Hichilema won about 60% of the vote to Mundubile's 38%.
