As we navigate the complexities of modern society, one fundamental right remains a cornerstone of our democracy: freedom of speech. The ability to express our thoughts, opinions, and ideas without fear of reprisal is essential to a healthy, functioning society.

The recent trend of using police force to suppress protests and silence critics has raised concerns about the government's commitment to upholding this fundamental right. The Constitution of Zambia guarantees freedom of speech, but it is the government's responsibility to ensure that this right is protected and respected.
