Zambia: Free Journalist Wilson Mpondamali

Wilson Pondamali was granted bail by the courts but the PF police have continued holding onto him.

This is another very clear violation of the constitution by President Michael Sata.

Why cant Michael Sata allow the rule of law to take its course? If Pondamali was charged, the next thing is to take him to court. That is what the law dictates.

President Michael Sata should remember that he swore to up hold the constitution.

But the very contrary is what is obtaining in our country today . It is like the Zambian constitution has been suspended.

We are now told that Pondamali's health has turned for the worse. Pondamali is said to be suffering from pneumonia which he contracted while in police detention.

We would like to warn President Sata that should this journalist die, his blood will be on his hands (Sata's).
