We demand for the immediate release of all our party members that were arrested in Eastern Province for merely exercising their democratic right to assemble and join the UPND.
This is what we mean when we say the PF regime is highly dictatorial and brutal to any citizens who want to exercise their rights of association and expression.
Had these been UPND members joining the PF, they would have been allowed to freely mingle and traverse the country and mobilise for the PF without any police permits or interference.
We call on our members countrywide to step the mobilisation activities and remain strong amidst the current oppression we are going through.
We are all suffering as a country due to the collapsed economy as a result of corruption, but we will not relent on fighting for what is right and what is just for all of our citizens.
Hakainde Hichilema
UPND President
