Zambia: Bid to caution editor dismissed

An independent Zambian newspaper, "The Post", was recently released from accusations of interference in a court case involving former Zambia Army defence chiefs who are being tried on allegations of corruption. "The Post" gained a victory when the Magistrates Court dismissed an appeal by former Zambia Air Force (ZAF) commander, Lieutenant General Sande Kayumba, requesting that the magistrate caution editor Fred M'membe over stories about the case published in the newspaper.
