UPND Secretary General Steven Katuka has advised Inspector General of Police Kakoma Kanganja to deal with the group of unruly Patriotic Front-PF cadres who stormed the Law Association of Zambia-LAZ officers on Friday last week.
Mr Katuka says allowing cadres to storm the LAZ offices demanding the resignation of LAZ president Linda Kasonde is a sign of indiscipline and lawlessness.
And the Human Rights Commission has strongly condemned the intimidation of LAZ by a clandestine group that went to protest at the legal fraternity body’s offices in Lusaka while wielding offensive weapons on Friday March 3, 2017.
Human Rights Commission Chief of Information, Education and Training Spokesperson Mwelwa Muleya says it is clear that the group deliberately planned to employ a terrorist method of engaging LAZ to psychologically intimidate the legal fraternity body from carrying out its statutory functions in a professional manner.
Mr Muleya has also challenged Government to come out in the open and not only condemn but take action against such activities which are giving an impression of systematic repression of individuals and institutions holding and expressing dissenting or divergent views.
He says LAZ is one of the established and reputable institutions of good governance in Zambia and its professional and independent operations must be promoted and protected by the state.
