赞比亚警方周四拘留了主要反对党领导人布莱恩·蒙杜比莱及其竞选搭档马凯比·祖卢1。蒙杜比莱和祖卢此前在联合国大楼寻求庇护，随后向警方自首1。两人目前面临叛国罪指控，但蒙杜比莱否认了叛乱指控1。
此次事件源于8月13日充满争议的总统选举1。蒙杜比莱在此次选举中挑战现任总统哈凯恩德·希奇莱马，但他拒绝接受希奇莱马以约60%得票率胜选的结果，并指责选举存在违规行为1。希奇莱马预计将于下周宣誓就职第二个五年任期1。选举次日，安全部队突袭蒙杜比莱住所，查获AK-47突击步枪等军事装备并逮捕11人1。在突袭行动中，反对党官员、前内阁部长穆托特韦·卡夫瓦亚被枪杀，国际特赦组织称其死亡“令人深感震惊”1。
联合国人权事务高级专员沃尔克·图尔克对赞比亚逮捕反对派人物的举动表示关切1。
Zambian police in Lusaka detained main opposition leader Brian Mundubile and his running mate Makebi Zulu on Thursday, holding them on treason charges after they surrendered to authorities following a stay at a United Nations compound 1. Mundubile, who challenged incumbent President Hakainde Hichilema in the August 13 presidential election, refused to accept the outcome and alleged electoral irregularities 1. Hichilema won the election with approximately 60% of the vote and is expected to be sworn in for a second five-year term next week 1.
The political crisis escalated after security forces raided Mundubile's residence the day after the election, seizing military equipment such as AK-47 assault rifles and arresting 11 individuals 1. During the operation, opposition official and former cabinet minister Mutotwe Kafwaya was shot dead, a death that Amnesty International called "deeply shocking" 1. The subsequent arrests of opposition figures have prompted concern from Volker Türk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights 1. Although authorities stated that weapons were discovered during the raid, Mundubile has denied the allegations of rebellion 1.
