Zambia’s forced deportation of Tendai Biti is a serious violation of international refugee law-UNHCR

Share


The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) says it is gravely concerned about reports of the forced return of Zimbabwean opposition politician and asylum-seeker Tendai Biti.

Mr Biti expressed the intention to seek asylum in Zambia at the border yesterday.

The UNHCR says the Zambian government handed over Mr Biti to his country of origin today despite a court order to the contrary.

“Refoulement or forcibly returning refugees and asylum-seekers to their country of origin is a serious violation of international refugee law,” a statement from the UNHCR said.

The UNHCR has since called on Zambia to investigate the incident urgently.

However, earlier today, Chief Government Spokesperson Dora Siliya said that Government had not abrogated the asylum laws by handing back Zimbabwe’s Movement Democratic Change Alliance (MDC), opposition co-leader Tendai Biti.

Ms. Siliya said that the action was within the law because Mr. Biti did not qualify for the asylum conditions.

Ms. Siliya, who is also Information and Broadcasting Minister, added that a person can only seek asylum if the country of origin is under massive violence and total breakdown of law and order, which was not in the case with Mr. Biti.

Ms. Siliya noted that the lives of citizens in Zimbabwe were not threatened and government concluded that it also applied to Mr. Biti, hence he did not qualify to be granted asylum in Zambia.

“The Zimbabwean MDC leader presented himself to the Zambian Authorities at Chirundu boarder post seeking asylum and was held at the boarder following consultations with government after the conclusions of the consultations particularly with Ministry of Home affairs it was deduced that he did not qualify for asylum” she said.

Ms. Siliya added that Mr. Biti has been handed back to the Zimbabwean authorities and NOT deported because he was NOT in Zambia illegally but he had been denied entry into the country and was being held at the boarder pending consultations.

“On the matter that he managed to get a court order against his handing back, he has been handed back to the Zimbabwean authorities I want to confirm that consultations in the office of Attorney General show that he had already been handed back to his Zimbabwean authorities when his court order was apparently granted “, she said.

Ms. Siliya was reacting to various stakeholders who have condemned the Zambian government for denying Mr. Biti asylum.

This was after the MDC co-leader was in the country to seek asylum after the Zimbabwean authorities were pursuing Mr. Biti on allegations of inciting violent protests in Harare during the just ended elections.

    • True! What can one expect from the PF Govt that doesn’t follow laws and proper processes? This is what we have been saying – lack of constitutionalism in Zambia. This a clear example cos Zambia is now even breaking international conventions willy nilly. Promoting lawlessness in our country – shameful.

    • Opposition are in the habit of sacrificing other peoples lives and then run away from the country. THAT ONE also did the same . Besides this biti was recently saying that Zambia is a failed state. What has changed today. Why run to a failed state. After causing yhr death of 6 lives and he wants to runaway fro the what he started. Only under5s can support him. Again if biti was granted asylum the under5s would’ve been complaining still.

    • Tendai Biti has only himself to blame for his poor judgment and poor choice of a country for seeking asylum. He couldn’t think of other countries? There’s Mozambique, South Africa, Botswana and Namibia, surely one of these three countries would have been a better option for you….not what you chose. What a costly mistake you made Tendai !!

    • OVAL HEAD – you keep regurgitating the same issues…how obtuse are you people? You are just as dull as your leaders (like Dora and co) everything has to be around silly petty partisan issues..so what if he said Zambia is a sh*thole. Do you know what international refugee law? Do you know what a court order is? If you didn’t want him you should have let him go to RSA or any country of his choosing.
      Next week dont be surprised to see that lazy thing reading a speech about welfare of refugees at the DRC/Zambia border that how disconnected these leaders are.

    • He broke the law in Zimbabwe and he has to face the consequences. His caused death and destruction in his country but his own life is not in danger … he just has to be answerable for his actions.

      The smart people of the Zambian Enterprise are not going to be accomplices to his violent acts and acquiesce. The Zimbabweans are trying very hard to put their lives back together after years of Uncle Bob’s tyranny.

      Their country is on a peaceful trajectory and Biti doesn’t qualify as an instigator of illegal activities in a peaceful environment of law and order.

      The UNHCR is simply asking GRZ to investigate and once this whole is looked into from all angles, UNHCR will conclude this government did the right thing much to the chagrin of Gay Gay here.

    • Zambia did well. Let Biti try Botswana or Tanzania. We already have our own thorn, HH.

      Fu.ck UNHCR. Concentrate on real refugees. Frankly, UN has no clout anymore! Nobody even knows the name of the Secretary General anymore.

    • Look at this JUNIOR he is forgetting that PF supported Uncle Bob’s tyranny to the very end you are blubbering about, Bob was always on hand to attend for Lazy Lungu’s ceremonies. Surely how can govt investigate something that has already happened I mean Biti has already been handed back to junta against a court order and in violation of international refugee laws….when I call you an educated fooooooool you take offence yet you view issues with tinted glasses.

    • OVAL HEAD – I wonder why people like you even blog …I mean even simple issues like hectares and acres is very difficult for you to understand surely what would you know about international refugee law?Use the internet to learn read something useful everyday and expand your knowledge.
      Wake up from your docility the world does not revolve around your silly Hakiande and Lazy Lungu..for the sake of your off springs research and make informed decisions!!

    • Sekuro Biti is the one person who saved Zimbabwe from total economic collapse. Had he at the time he served as finance minister during the short lived coalition govt not fully dollarized the economy that country wouldve completely fallen apart from a bad situation to the worst situation imaginable. What we must understand is Zimbabwe is our sister nation we are one people, let’s forget about borders there are no 2 countries in Africa more close than Zim and Zambia and we need to respect this by not selling each other for two pennies of silver. This is a sad day.

    • 2020vision – PF empty tins are not concerned with that …their issues with Biti is that he came to Zambia last year to show solidarity with Hakainde after he was arrested on those embarrassing trumped up treason charges. Biti was scathing in his criticism of Lazy Lungu, accusing him of behaving like then-President Mugabe by targeting Hakainde. So, its not simple to put one and two together as these thieves are so petty they forget that one day they will be in similar position.

    • Gay Gay, refer to my blogs under #3 and stop this nonsense of being a useless clown.

      You have really overdone yourself this time as a low IQ, low libido, low class, low life clown.

      Find something else meaningful to do, your person stock value has reached an all time low.

      In a few days UNHCR will issue a clarification on this matter and it will be in GRZ’s favor much like the British High Commissioner did a few weeks ago … what are you going to say then???

      Life Is A Serious Enterprise, What A Sweet Life ~ B R Mumba, Sr

    • Look at this JUNIOR putting himself on a pedestal and barking nonsense…how can UNHCR issue clarification when a court order has been ignored not to deport the individual? Silly dingbat..use your faculties!!

    • One thing I am certain is that CHILDISH is unelectable and unlikeable! He is also a very dull politicians who will NEVER attract voters. So no matter how much you speak and paint the government bad Mutinta will never go to State House. She will be a housewife of a Paramount Chief in Namwala.

    • Let is be realistic, our government acted poorly. Laws are in place for good reason. A high profile politician fled his country in search of asylum, essentially the chance at a free trial. Let’s not fetch for excuses.

    • What Zambia has done is a clear indication that Chakolwa Lungu and his PF government of thugs do not respect the rule of law.

      There is no rule of law in Zambia. And how some one can expect it to be there is utter nonsense when even Chakolwa lungu himself is the number one culprit for direspecting the rule of law

      Only an arms struggle will get rid of these dictators.

    • I cant wait to see Lungu and his cohort get deported from where ever will try to seek asylum when we get rid of them soon.

    • So, according to Dora, the court order came AFTER Biti had already been handed over to the Zimbabwean authorities? Really? Can some investigative journalists please look into this? This is an extremely serious issue, if it’s found to be untrue. The blatant disregard for the rule of law and disrespect for our judiciary should not be tolerated in Zambia. Not even clueless Lungu and his gang should be allowed to be acting outside the rule of law. Someone needs to be charged with contempt of court, if it’s proven that Biti was still on Zambian soil when the court order was delivered. Secondly, the asylum conditions Dora narrated seem to be exaggerated. Nonetheless, if you were not satisfied with his claims, why didn’t you give him an opportunity to choose another country in which he…

    • (Continued)… could’ve sought asylum, instead of handing him back to the military junta? Extremely mediocre and lawless leadership. You all need to be charged with contempt of court and thrown in prison.

    • The UN should seriously look how to stop election malpractice. They are the single source of global instability after climate change. Those who keep on rigging election with impunity should be treated like terrorist. Because how long will place like Africa continue suffering because these criminals, who deprive their people of quality leadership? How long, how long? We need “good hygiene” in politics!

  1. I DONT SEE THE NEED FOR ALL THIS NOISE. ZAMBIA HAS BEEN HOME FOR COUNTLESS REFUGEES WITH REFUGEE CAMPS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. THIS IS JUST A SPECIAL CASE. YES THERE WAS SOME UNREST IN ZIMBABWE. THIS IS QUITE COMMON IN AFRICAN POLITICS. BUT TO LIST ZIMBABWE AMONG THE WAR-TORN COUNTRIES WITH RESIDENTS SCAMPERING AROUND AS REFUGEES IS STRETCHING THE MATTER TOO FAR. TENDAI PROBABLY WANTED TO DENT THE IMAGE OF HIS COUNTRY BY CREATING A SCENARIO WHERE HE IS CONSIDERED AS A REFUGEE RUNNING AWAY FROM MNAGAGWA’S TERROR.

    • Batasha kali mwitobo. The almost 1million refugees in Zambia is enough evidence that we’re home to all kinds of people except Biti.

    • Chisenga – You have failed to find the CAPS LOCK button on your keyboard …how can you understand issues like international refugee law. At times its best to just keep quiet than expose your dullness!!

    • @Chisenga
      Take that Kaponya Mentality out of your head! It is personal safety and injury that determines refugee status NOT WAR. For example, Denis Liwewe lived in Zambia as a refugee but Malawi has never been war torn because his personal safety was in danger.
      Take the jungle out of your head little chimp!

    • Shut up if you have nothing say; have you just been given a tender to supply tea bags. The SADC Dictators Club still remains strong. We have just seen Zambian President Edgar C Lungu defying a court order in deporting Zimbabwe opposition MDC Alliance principal Tendai Biti. The truth is this was not surprising given how Lungu himself treats the opposition in Zambia. Zambia shall be saved.

    • The low IQ, low libido Gay Gay at it without fully understanding all the details pertaining to asylum law. He’s really a laughable useless clown, this cretin ~ his own words.

      Here are the facts for you little dimwit. Did Biti break the law in his own country? The answer is “Yes” and there are pending inquiries and investigations for his arrest.

      Did Biti’s actions cause injuries to others? The answer is “Yes” and people’s lives and properties were lost. At that point he becomes a fugitive not a refugee.

      Court order obtained after denial of entry and returned back to Zimbabwean authorities is an academic exercise. The Attorney General of the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise is way smarter than Gay Gay and understands International Law better than jacks of all trades like this…

    • Continued …

      The Attorney General of the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise is way smarter than Gay Gay and understands International Law better than jacks of all trades like this low class, low IQ, low libido clown.

    • Chisenga, on point. BR, mukwai mwalasa bakalamba!! How can the UNHCR ignore the fact that Biti broke the law??? This is very low by their standards. That was the only violence during the whole process of elections as all, opposition included, campained freely without violence. Until Biti irresponsibly incited MDC supporters to cause mayhem and sadly people got killed. Various observers roundly labelled the elections free and fair, although some hiccups were there, but it was a big improvement from the Mugabe elections and there is a lot of room for improvement. There is no lawlessness in Zimbabwe so Biti must account for his actions.

    • JUNIOR – Do you even know what law he broke? Mr Biti’s arrest warrant, as seen by the BBC, states that he “unlawfully” announced that Mr Chamisa had won the election. Mind you there is a reason why that word unlawfully is highlighted as this is an election that was marred by “mammoth theft and fraud”. . ..the fact of the matter is our High Court ruled on Wednesday night that Mr Biti should not be deported until a “judicial review” of the govt’s decision to reject his asylum application so why ignore a court order and go ahead and deport him anyway on Thursday at first light at 06:00 hrs? You have no respect for court rulings yet you are here trying to justify a wrong by our govt. And I have not even touched International Refugee and asylum laws.

    • I wonder if these people even take some time to think and provide fair comments.
      So are you saying the government is right to overrule the courts ruling? So no respect for laws, and you are busy supporting your government? That’s insa.ne you people, your brains are really f.u.c.ked up for the love of PF.
      BTW, your Siliya is also fu.c.ked up, ati ” … a person can only seek asylum if the country of origin is under massive violence and total breakdown of law and order..”, REALLY?
      I did not want to comment on this article but seeing the comments being raised here, really ridiculous and can’t sit back

      This B R Mumba thing, to think this guy thinks of himself as being smarter than the folks in government that he supports is scary and it is no wonder this country finds itself at the bottom of human development and progress. Sometimes you have to think beyond your petty political interests and condemn what is clearly wrong.

      You keep saying Tendai Biti “broke the law” and yet no court on earth has found him guilty. Mate the decent thing to say is that he is suspected to have broken the law.

      I think Jay Jay has eloquently and articulated his arguments very well. 2 points really: 1) Zambia is a signatory to UNHCR conventions on refugees, asylum seekers and human rights; 2) Zambia needs to obey its own laws. On both fronts Zambia failed lamentably, i.e. they failed to obey both…

  2. Ms. Siliya, who is also Information and Broadcasting Minister, added that a person can only seek asylum if the country of origin is under massive violence and total breakdown of law and order, which was not in the case with Mr. Biti. kikikikikikikikikikikiki defination of asylum seeker from slit.

    • Be honest , even in Europe the same excuse has been used against some Eritrean asylum seekers. The problem with you Zambian people is that you want to jump at any blunder committed by government without making comparisons
      Titi by all standards is inimical to the security of Zambia and Zimbabwe.

    • @Ndanje Khakis:
      You are so ignorant of the Eritrean situation – what nonsense is that? Have you even heard of conscription for 15 years and forced labour camps? Eritrea situation is worse than Syria – don’t show us your ignorance chimp! I have been there and worked there under the UN – so hide that sh.it in your backside where the Sun never shines.

    • Chilyata I don’t talk to bigoted maggots like you because you are looking for an chance to attack government. If the government had granted Biti asylum you’re still going to criticize government for endangering Zambia by harboring a wanted criminal.

    • Chilyata – Please be gentle with this blogger he is a fragile snowflake…very prone to crying out like a toddler in an incubator when cornered as he posts daft comments like the Eritrean situation ..he has not got one clue about, my skin was crawling when I read his comment as I have friends from this country and I know their pain…

  3. Dora cannot justify the action of her government! The decision is insensitive and irrational. The man is fearing for his life and deserved to be heard not within hours (in the heat of the moment!) but soberly and especially taking into account that there is a life, opposition or not, involved.

  4. So Katumbi gets VIP treatment with police escort to the Border and Biti gets thrown out like a thug, despite a court order.

    These look like traits of a sh!thole country, folks.

    • Animo Farm HH Childish mouthpieces! Hatribes Union (Z) Ltd. With ha-tribal ha-agenda, the Mapatizya formula ha-at work. Chronic losers ganging up H-against a popular and democratically elected government just because their tribal buddy and privatisation thief lost Hagain!

    • What a misplaced example – you are comparing the DRC situation with the Zimbabwe situation. You must really be so low.

  5. A dark day for Zambia.

    We have every reason to walk the streets of the world with drooped shoulders.

    So, so shameful

  6. Ok. Why didn’t I think of it. Assange was grant asylum by the Equadorian embassy because of the total break down of law and order in the US. Genius Siliya!!

      Oh the irony Ndanje, read @webman comments again… I’m guessing that was lost on you and it went over your head. Otherwise it is a good change of heart from you. Just to break it down for you @webman is basically saying the reasons advanced by your not so ‘genius’ Siliya don’t make sense and defy logic and don’t align with other political asylum seekers precedents like Assange’s example.

    • Spot on Alternative facts, Boneheads like Mbanje Nkake, are so DULL simple comprehension is so difficult.
      With the Sh1teh0le Country Zambia, where exam paper leaks are the norm, you will find this DULL Bat Ndanje is even a University graduate.
      One then wonders why the Nation is in the State it’s in, & daft brushes like Dora Siliya who wouldn’t even be allowed to manage a Nail salon, is a Minister making important decisions that could mean life or death.
      ONLY IN CHAKOLWAS DRUNKEN DUNUNA NATION!!

  7. Reading through the statements, my sixth sense tells me UNHCR never consulted the govt before issuing the statement. The danger of getting news from social media to form an opinion is always dangerous because you end up scooping the smoke and leave the fire. UNHCR should confer with govt and then report to their pay master in NY. Balanced reporting ili che!

    • The fact of the matter is Miti is not in Zambia today ..he has been deported back to Zimbabwe surely what consultations do you want. And you have a situation where the President hardly makes any statements or Press briefings on serious issues apart from when he is at an Airport tarmac with his fellow Daily Mail reporters.

  8. Citizens of Zimbabwe have been fleeing the country for many years now; and how dare Siliya say that citizens of Zimbabwe are safe?

    There are many reasons apart from war or break down in law for which people run away from their countries to seek refuge in another country.

    Siliya’s reason falls flat. It is very sad that even the President could not advise his ministers to take it easy and assess the case.

    • “….It is very sad that even the President could not advise his ministers to take it easy and assess the case….”

      Lungu is a corrupt despot who moves with a bible in his back pocket just incase he has to dupe his kaponyas of being humble godfearing….

    • This proves that the courts have no say in Zambia! This proves that the PF is above the law and this means Zambia is in big big big trouble !!!!

  9. SO DORA SILIYA CAN BE CORRECT AMIDST US DEPARTMENT OF SECURITY SERVICES, UNHCR BRITAIN AND GREEN PARTY PRESIDENT ALSO ME? JUST IMAGINE

  10. Fellow bloggers, there are a few things that need to be guarded jealously, and one of them is the rule of law. Once the issue had reached the courts, the court was in a position to judge. The Government should have let the court make the call. That is why there is a separation of powers, it should not just be taught in schools, it must be practiced and seen to be practiced.

  11. The good thing is PF has set precedent for themselves! The time will come when some PF members will want to seek asylum to escape the long arm of the law. When that comes to pass, we don’t want to hear them crying fowl like CK! Every dog has its day!

    • Our leaders will remain in Zambia! HH will NEVER be a leader of Zambia. If he cannot run a kraal how can he run our beautiful nation with civilized people than him and his tribal cronies?

  12. Zimbabweans should not drag Zambia into your problems. We kept you and your leaders when you ran away from Ian Smith and a lot of Zambians lost their lives when the Selous Scouts came hunting for you in Zambia. You are now independent but you are now running away from fellow Shonas. Leave Zambia out of your stupidity, we are fed up with you!

  13. Total ignorance of international law and a pathetic explanation of the indefensible by some bloggers. Biti claimed asylum as an individual and there is no requirement that the country you are fleeing has to be on fire. People the world over have been pursued as individuals in genuine fear of brutality or death for their views or from paranoid regimes. It’s abundantly clear that we have a government of officials devoid of international processes or human values. How do you even deal with an asylum claim in such record time – even when it went to court?
    Granting of asylum or consideration of the same is not reliant on whether there is a war or genocide. Individuals from ‘seemingly’ stable nations are pursued everyday in a manner that instills genuine fear of persecution, torture or even…

  14. Short n simple, the currrnt PF government does not welcome opposition leaders., first it was Maimane who was red carded at the airport terminal n now Biti . Both on were on Zambian soil. Democracy my foot

  15. This is the nonsense that p!!@ses me off. I hope Biti and the 3 treacherous Zambians (Keith, Gilbert & Mulambo) are now happy that my only country Zambia is now subject of condemnation from the UN over other peoples (ZIM) issues. UNHRC back off!! Leave my Zambia out of the Zim issues. We do not want Tendai Biti on our soil because we do not want to dragged into the never ending Zim chaos. If you have historical issues with ZANU-PF and want to see their back speak to Mnangagwa directly. Do not involve us.

  16. UNHCR says it had called upon Zambia to investigate the matter. It is like asking a murderer to investigate his case and asking testify against himself at trial. Where is rationality?

  17. I have to agree with @JayJay here. Well said. One has to stick to what is morally right, never sale your soul as Judas Iscariot did. This is what is happening today so many are selling their souls both to the ruling party and even to the opposition they can see that things are not right yet they want to pretend. Let’s be real. @Wanzelu what do you know about an armed struggle are you the one who is ready to see devastation and your loved ones become refugees? An armed struggle is the last thing we need.

  18. UN accuses Zambia of violating international law after MDC’s Tendai Biti is denied asylum- The Guardian newspaper ,UK.

  19. B. R. Mumba is without any doubt a maddening stupid ***** of monumentous proportions. Sometimes one is given to wonder whether this fixed-smile retard is on drugs or his stupidity is a gift from God endowed to him on the table of creation, or invariably a coctail of both! Or maybe it’s the side effects od the rats and baboons they are roasting and swallowing!

  20. I hope the same will apply to these sons of bi…ches breaking the law here in Zambia. Their time will come and they’ll be scampering all over trying to seek asylum.

  21. Can you apply for a Court order from no man’s land? No.

    There was no court order but an injunction by a sympathetic under-five which would have lapsed anyway. Biti was denied entry by Immigration.

  22. The real players in this issue is the Chinese. They are running the show between two countries. Leaders must be good to account. Did Biti said it was okay to terrorise democracy. From what l can hear from comments he was not condoning his Excellency President Lungu but asking him to stop terrorising fellow Zambian. There were more than 300 people from Zimbabwean side who initially stopped his arrest at the border before he came into Zambia. Biti asked people to pull down poster but he did not give the order for 6 people to be shot. Solders could have fired in the air and disperse the public and arrest those who burn property. I give you an example a small town with registered voters of 29000 Zanu recorded votes of 35500. A quite polling station had 150 000 at the last hour of voting 200…

  23. . I give you an example a small town with registered voters of 29000 Zanu recorded votes of 35500. A quite polling station had 150 000 at the last hour of voting 200 000 people voted. What Biti announced is fact that his Leader won. I grew up in a village in mashonaland east one of the inhabitants was a Zambian we respected him like one of our own. In Shona we call his household kwamuZambian literally at the Zambian it might sounds ridiculous. But he was a member of the community our own. International law is there to protect the guy without power you and you and me. It does not matter now but dialogue and discussion is good. I am Zimbabwean by the way. We must be above the notion of what is expected from an African. We have no direction we cant be fair we can’t be humans. Europeans are…

  24. Good day to you all,

    I want to testify of the good Loan Lender who showed me light, i just got my loan from Ms.Becky Ford, after been scammed by several fake managers on Facebook who claim to be a loan lender before a friend of mine directed me to Ms.Becky Ford, she is the manager
    of Ford Credit Centre, who finally help me with my loan transfer, so friend if you are in need of a loan kindly email him via:([email protected]) or WhatsApp
    Number:+14044004210

  25. These defunct UN organizations only open their mouths when it wants to condemn Africans. The USA and Europe are the worst culprit as far as forced deportations is concerned.

  26. Let the UN put some kind of Punishment on Zambia for this act on not following the law they thought if they agree between governments it shall be well .. They need to learn what justice is..not everything had to be political

  27. Comment:pf and dolasilit are forgetting that they also seeking asylum from us aid cause agriculture education health and arv these are being supported by u said.now let us wet and see when the usaid pull out how the pf rule this country people are going to die like rats stop aguin start apologise to international community otherwise things are not ok

  28. I was there at chirundu boarder post Tendai biti was in one of the buses which was going to Zambia then he’s fellow Zimbabwean got him from the compartment where they put bags and handed him to the Zimbabwean emigrations who was on duty since chirundu is now one stop boarder post Zambian and Zimbabwean imigration they work together so it’s Zimbabwean who called Zimbabwean police and they came 3 of them on foot to pick Tendai Biti.So please put out Zambian government in this issue .
