        Zambia has no respect for humanity. no justice in Zimbabwe. They can cook election outcome & they can cook crimes just to destroy your legacy. Biti is a former finance minister, politician & a human rights lawyer. Zanu being an enemy of progress is trying to lock him up.

        His life is not at all in danger. He is a fugitive running away from justice. If you were following Zimbabwean events you will agree with me that the violent demonstrations that we witnessed soon after our elections were engineered by this fugitive.

        I happen to be closely following events on Zim, and i disagree with you 100%, it is the one with the life who knows if its in danger or not, its not yourplace to suggest otherwise. The act pf violence was perpetrated by the Army who shot unarmed pple

        Well then, now that he is in the hands of the police lets see if his life was ever in danger in the first place. If you were following events closely you would agree with mw 100%.

        Sad to see this. Zambia used to aid opposition leaders from neighbouring countries who feared for their lives in their own country. It's likely the Zambian government denied him asylum cause it now imprisons members of the opposition.
