Zambia POLICE Officers picked up Reggae Artist cum Politician, Maiko ZULU on the 27th, who had staged a lone protest near the British High Commissioner’s office in Lusaka.
After being locked up for hours by the police, Maiko Zulu was released from police custody.
He posted on his Facebook page, Good afternoon Comrades.
I have been released from Kabwata Police where I was taken after being interrogated at Force HQ following the protest I had at the British High Commission against Vedanta (KCM) owner Anil Agarwal.
Vedanta is being de-listed from the London Stock Exchange following serious crimes against indigenous people of India and the pollution of our own Kafue River which is a source of livelihood for thousands of peasants.
The inequality that multinationals are creating can not be left unchecked and we will continue standing up and facing arrests for the good of our people. Our fellow protesters were shot at by police in India.
Thank you for the solidarity, The fight against inequality is real!
