'Riotous Behaviour' Stops Zambia Opposition's Day in Court

The Lusaka High Court has stopped hearing the petition case brought by United Party for National Development president Hakainde Hichilema and his deputy Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba after party members allegedly fought running battles at the Supreme Court building - leaving property damaged. Hichilema, who lost in the elections to Edgar Lungu in August, wants to have the poll results overturned.
