(LUSAKATIMES) UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema has been arrested

COMMENT - Trying to bend over backwards to break the law and get yourself arrested doesn't mean you are being victimised. This is the game the UPND and MMD are playing, because they have no policies they can market to Zambians or that Zambians haven't seen and experienced already. Right now, the opposition are just opposing for the sake of opposing.

Police have arrested United Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema.

This was after Mr Hichilema was questioned at the Force Headquarters in connection with his recent statement alleging that the PF Government had sent youth to Sudan to be trained as militias, a statement he refused to retract.

Mr Hichilema is also believed to have been questioned in relation to his recent visit to Evelyn Hone College.

One of his lawyers who accompanied him to the Police headquarters Sakwiba Sikota hinted to journalists that the UPND leader has been charged with treason.

Mr Hichilema has since been taken to the Magistrate court were the charges against him are expected to be read out.

Earlier Police were forced to change the room were Mr Hichilema was to be questioned from, after the UPND leader refused to be interrogated from upstairs in preference for a room on the ground floor of the building.

He cited the incident last week when he together with his cadres were tear-gassed on the second floor when he was summoned at Lusaka central Police.
