Human Rights Activist, Brebner Changala, this morning briefly broke down in tears when he submitted his petition to the Chomba-led Legal and Justice Sector Reforms Commission in Kabwata on the conduct of security wings especially the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) and the Zambia Police Service.

And Mr Changala has petitioned the commission to recommend to the State to stop security wings from conducting night raids in people’s home and compel the State, through the Director of Public Prosecutions to put a life span for a nolle prosequi to be in effect.

Mr. Changala, who started his petition in a jovial and friendly mood, gradually turned angry during his petition and briefly broke down when he narrated how he was treated by the security wings who he said raided his houses and humiliated him and his family.

Mr Changala accused the State of using the Drug Enforcement Commission, police and the courts to humiliate political opponents by accusing them of unbailable offences and after detaining and remanding the accused for long periods without proper evidence they enter nolle prosequi which cannot be questioned by anyone.

He observed that DEC has been searching people’s houses for seditious materials without search warrants from the courts while courts deliberately take long adjournments to frustrate the accused which he said was a violation of human rights.

He recommended to the commission that the powers of the Director of Public Prosecutions should be curtailed so that the DPP should be giving reasons to the court for entering nolle.

He disclosed that he was a victim of nolle as he has been on five nolle prosequi since 2001 which he said was not safe for any citizen as he does not know whether he would be re-arrested for the case has been closed which he said the judiciary should revisit to ensure that there is a time frame for nolle.

And Commission Chairperson noted that the abuse of nolle has been a subject of complaint by many petitioners during the commission’s public sittings, saying it has to be looked at carefully.

Justice Chomba stated that many people in other townships of Lusaka where the commission has held public sittings have already recommended that a nolle prosequi should have a time frame, a recommendation Mr Changala laboured to explain.

Another petitioner, Chrispine Sichone, submitted that the clause in the Civil Service Disciplinary Code which subjects civil servants suspected of committing criminal offenses to earn half salary should be
abolished because it contravenes the Article 18 of the Constitution of Zambia which states that a person is innocent until proven guilty.

Dr Sichone noted that clause 56 of the Disciplinary Code violates human rights as it takes away part of the income of a civil servant who is not proven guilty hence it should be abolished.

Dr Sichone also appealed to the judiciary to put a time frame within which a case should be concluded in order to serve on time and financial resources.

  1. This is why I think HH is bad for politics in zambia

    What did he do to this man for him to break down?

    Thanks

    • A big man like him. These are real freemasonists ,how do you cry when there is no police presence?
      You will break down more in 2016

    • Mushota, your envy and hate toward HH will drive to the grave. Find something to do for your life. Drop some of those jobs, enroll in college so you can get a better job, start a family, go on a cruse, and all that bitterness against successful people will diminish. Good luck!

    • Mushota, the *****, Brener Changala, has been receiving money from Halenya Halenya-HH, the satanist and freemason. So when he found himself before Mutembo Nchito, a righteous man, the demons reacted. This is why Changala was crying like a baby before the judicial reforms committee .

    • Uko super comedian president Sata on pictures only won’t go either to the states to be with fellow African leaders or go to magongo to boost support for PF.

      What a shame. PF should tell the truth and select a young vibrant NON BEMBA leader to help them shake off this tribalist tag sinking the party dismally.

      Sata is gone walk about as the aboriginals would say when some one wont be seen again.

      My heart bleeds for the indignity my comedian president is suffering at the hands of his selfish PF handlers.

    • @Mushota, way to go. What a cry baby. Are these the so called men who what to lead this country? No, no. The political ring is not for babies or children. It is for the tough tested. No wonder HH is always angry and read to break down too. Come 2016, the likes of Brebner will commit suicide. And all of you insulting Mushota, you are just stu.pi.d and just want to hear someone insult the president, then you commend that person. Atase, you i.d.iots, you will NEVER RULE. Me, Dorika, voting for UPND, CAN’T NEVER.

    • Kwena ba Mushota you are so dull.What grade did stop school ?is grade or sub A?Whats the conection with HH and what Changala was saying.All you dream is HH.HH is now a household name,dont fear he will bring peace and prosperity to you Mushota.

    • The problem you only read issues between your legs, this has nothing to do with HH. What ever comment you share on this blog does not make any sense. Everything you say looks like pupu. This is an online scheme where we try to educate each other. Be a useful *****.

    • Well done Mushota, you have grabbed the attention of everyone as always.

      ” People, when will you learn to ignore” Just saying.

  2. hope the commission will bear fruit is not another donchi kubeba issue to cool people for political mileage in preparation for 2016.

  3. why can’t this man come up or join other credible human rights organisations. The problem he seems like a man fighting for his tummy in a confused state than fighting for human rights this man needs medical attention he has found him self in a bad state he needs a job or farming inputs lets give him one and his rights to decent life will be respected for now its will just be him seeking attention in a poor nation with big ideas you are mistaken man

  4. He broke down because he remembered how he was denied access to his pills. Nobody deserves that treatment.I feel you bosses.

    • It is you that needs psychiatric attention. Didn’t you read that in his testimony before he was released ? Anyway i have no time to waste on people like you.

    • What’s the argument here ? Morsi don’t be stu-pid use your google to find his story.It took time before he was allowed his medication.Think before you start calling people names.This internet brings out the worst in you children of today.You take pleasure in insulting people you don’t know.

    • @Saulosi somehow I am begining to like you. Even though we see things differently I am begining to have a certain respect for you. Especially in this case. Others see a cry baby you have seen a man whose rights have been violated. That is huge man I respect that. I hope one day we can meet in person. Keep it up man.
      your frenemy.

  5. dis guy has a lot of isues y being driven by emotions,so what if u cries may be u av EATERN your sponsers money n they are on your neck.

  6. wanzelu.even you,you are a director of your own enterprise but what do you have you can be very rich and behave very poor to me he is poor and this is just social media don’t employ your self responding to social media comment join politics if you want to release your presume this place seems to small for you go and organise a political rally and make political noise not trying to be what you are not and who told you being a director of a company means you have money the man is poor and very poor like you expecting one day to have a good life through politics I asure you just work had for your self and you should know that even politicians you support are working very hard to have your support so why spend time and get annoyed on useless things

  7. This changala seems to be having issues with his head. How do you insult the biggest customer of your black board chalk. If l were the PS in MoE, l will demote any head teacher with changala’s chalk in his school. Chiputa kuipa.

  8. There are still remnants of the dictatorial Kafupi government that would raid people’s homes in the middle of the night, what an irony that DEC was created under Chiluba (MHSRIP) but never once arrested or even investigated one of Zambia’s most addicted and serious hard drug users in the name of Castro Chiluba (MHSRIP). Only recently a grade 6 year old was arrested can some of you who live abroad or live in a fantasy world here in Zambia just shut up and not make any contibutions because you are taking up space for serious debate. I understand and totally agree with Brebner on this, I know that there exist elements within DEC and the Police who want to bring down the name of the PF government, soon even those double agents will be identified and and dealt with accordingly.

  9. According to the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention more than 33 million people have HIV, the HIV-1 virus being the most prevelant. Although effective treatment has been available for the last 15 years, it requires a lifetime of vigilance as one missed day could allow the virus to flare up, leading to AIDS. Eliminating the virus completely is the best possible solution and researchers at the Temple University have achieved this result in cultured human cells for the first time. The team’s approach looks promising for a potential permanent cure as well as provide protection against HIV.

    In the study, published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Kamel Khalili, the lead researcher of the project said, “This is one important step on the path toward a…
