Government told to resolve prisons problems

Hope for Human Rights has asked Government to treat the Lusaka central Prison as a disaster and quickly move in to provide a solution.

Organisation Executive director Smart Chanda says Hope for human rights is saddened by the revelations by the prison authorities that they are forced to come up with a sleeping timetable for the inmates at Lusaka central prison-Chimbokaila.

A group of prisoners is allowed to sleep and later exchange with the other group due to inadequate space.

He says the international human rights law dictates that all persons deprived of their liberty shall be treated with humanity and respect.
