Alliance for a Better Zambia youths have threatened to march to State House to protest the continued denial of police permits for rallies or any form of political assembly by the Patriotic Front government.
Munali Constituency ABZ youth chairperson Royd Chiluba said the police had proved the greatest threat to Zambia’s democracy by continuously denying citizens their right to assemble.
The police denied the ABZ the right to hold a rally on the Copperbelt to launch their party saying they were constrained as some of their staff were overseeing by-elections in Kafulafuta.
Chiluba said the ABZ youths would not tolerate the country’s fast growing dictatorship perpetuated by the Patriotic Front.
“We take great exception to the action by the Zambia Police who have continuously denied citizens the right of assembly by not giving permits but coming up with excuses all the time,” he said.
“As ABZ youths we are going to march to State House and show our disgust with the manner the country is being driven into a one party state by the PF.”
Political gatherings in the country have been frozen with anybody who dares go ahead physically dealt with by the ruling party’s newly formed youth militia that has been arming itself with all sorts of weapons.
Recently during the Chipata Central by-election PF youths descended on their MMD counterparts with a gun totting Judge Ngoma firing shots to scamper the largely peaceful Chipata Community.
Ngoma was convicted of political violence in 2010 and was only saved by a presidential pardon after the PF took over government in 2011.
