The United Nations human rights chief has called on Zambia to stop arbitrarily arresting opposition members following last week's general election, in which President Hakainde Hichilema secured a second term with roughly 60 percent of the vote. UN rights commissioner Volker Türk demanded that all detainees be informed of charges against them, granted access to lawyers and family, and brought promptly before a judge, warning that any arrests must comply with international human rights standards. The main opposition NRPUP (National Reconciliation Party for Unity and Prosperity) reported that its leader Brian Mundubile, who received around 38 percent of the vote, had been moved to a secure location under protection from an international human rights body amid threats against him, while several opposition figures remained in police custody on allegations of militia involvement that the opposition has rejected.
