The family of a newspaper editor has been left really traumatized and under pressure after police officers stormed his home.
Men of the Zambian Police Force
Operatives of the Zambian Police raided the home of a
government-critical Zambian editor-in-chief, but were unable to arrest
him because he was abroad, local media reported, on Thursday, the News
Agency of Nigeria reports.
Police instead arrested the wife of Fred M’membe, editor-in-chief of The Post newspaper, which was closed down in June.
Witnesses said M’membe’s wife, Mutinta, was roughed up, and that
journalist Joan Chirwa was prevented from leaving the house during the
raid, on Wednesday.
The local media said more police arrived at the house.
The raid followed moves by M’membe to challenge in court the
liquidation of the assets of The Post, which was closed down on grounds
that it had more than 4 million dollars in tax arrears.
The newspaper has had no activity since Nov. 2, 2016 when it was placed under liquidation.
Police sources said police had arrest warrants for M’membe and his lawyer.
The charges say M’membe cannot take court action concerning the newspaper, because it is under liquidation.
“Police also tried to prevent the printing of The Mast, a
newspaper launched by M’membe’s wife, but it was nevertheless on sale on
the streets on Thursday morning,’’ witnesses said.
It said that The Post had written critically about the government of President Edgar Lungu.
