Zambian journalist Thomas Allan Zgambo is facing up to seven years in prison <\/strong>for his reporting on corruption and poor governance in the southern African nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is at least the third time that Zgambo has risked imprisonment for his online journalism, a growing threat for journalists in many African countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 6, Zgambo was arrested on allegations of publishing seditious material, which under Zambian law includes content advocating for the overthrow of the government or raising \u201cdisaffection\u201d among the public, for his July 28 commentary on the Facebook page of the online news outlet Zambian Whistleblower, which called on the government to be transparent about any links between a property it had rented and President Hakainde Hichilema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zgambo told CPJ that the police detained him in a cell until August 8 in a bid to get him to reveal his sources. \u201cThat is why they held me there for two nights. They just wanted to punish me,\u201d said the journalist, who is due back in court on August 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Hichilema won a landslide victory in 2021, he vowed that \u201cthe media will be freed\u201d amid broader rhetoric on improving conditions for the press in Zambia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite these commitments, CPJ has since documented several attacks on the press, including arrests of journalists covering protests and the opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPresident Hakainde Hichilema\u2019s promises to ensure media freedom in Zambia ring hollow after a journalist who criticized him was arrested and charged with an offense that carries a lengthy prison term,\u201d said CPJ Africa Program Coordinator Muthoki Mumo, in Nairobi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cZambian authorities must immediately drop all legal proceedings against Thomas Allan Zgambo. In addition, Zambia should scrap laws that criminalize the work of the press.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pattern of legal harassment <\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zambia is widely seen as one of Africa\u2019s most stable democracies. From 2017 to 2022, it had no journalists in jail at 12:01 a.m. local time on December 1, when CPJ\u2019s annual prison census is conducted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, Zgambo became the first Zambian journalist to appear in the census in seven years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was arrested on November 28 over his Zambian Whistleblower report that the Zambia National Service, an arm of the defense force, was importing \u201csubstandard\u201d genetically modified maize from South Africa without informing consumers of any potential harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zgambo was freed on bail on the morning of December 1, 2023, and is due back in court for a hearing on this case on August 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zgambo is no stranger to the Zambian courts. He was first charged with sedition in 2013 after documents about the then-President Michael Sata were found in his home. Zgambo told CPJ that he was released on police bond but never received a date to appear in court. Sata died in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaponizing laws to target online journalism<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Zgambo, an increasing number of journalists in the region mainly publish via social media amid falling mainstream revenues and government repression. For example, in Somalia, social media can be a lifeline for local communities to access independent journalism and for freelancers to share their reporting.<\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPJ has been tracking the weaponization of existing, often colonial-era, legislation to criminalize journalism, as well as the introduction of new laws to target online freedom of expression in countries like Nigeria, Tanzania, and Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eleven of the 12 imprisoned Rwandan and Ethiopian journalists in CPJ\u2019s 2023 prison census operate outlets that publish on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The African Commission on Human and People\u2019s Rights an African Union body, has called on countries in the region to repeal all criminal defamation, insult, and<\/a> sedition laws. Although sedition provisions have been repealed in Uganda and Malawi countries such as Zambia and Tanzania continue to use them against journalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zambia\u2019s State House spokesperson Clayson Hamasaka referred CPJ\u2019s request for comment to the police. Police spokesperson Rae Hamoonga did not respond to CPJ\u2019s calls and text messages requesting comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
