人权观察（HRW）呼吁赞比亚当局停止在总统哈凯恩德·希奇莱马（Hakainde Hichilema）于8月在有争议的选举中获胜后发动的、针对政治反对派的恶毒镇压行动。
Human Rights Watch (HRW) has called on Zambia’s authorities to halt the vicious clampdown on the political opposition that was launched following President Hakainde Hichilema’s victory in disputed elections in August.
该权利组织在周日发布的一份报告中要求当局制止正在升级的打压行动。
The rights group demanded in a report released on Sunday that the authorities put a stop to the intensifying crackdown.
报告指责赞比亚政府压制政府批评者，近几个月来，数名反对派成员以及记者和律师被捕，部分人失踪。
It accused Zambia’s government of silencing government critics, with several members of the opposition, as well as journalists and lawyers, arrested and some having disappeared in recent months.
人权观察表示：“选举后的恐吓、骚扰和镇压氛围，对公民和政治组织，特别是持不同政见者产生了寒蝉效应。”
“The post-election climate of intimidation, harassment, and repression has had a chilling effect on civic and political organizations, particularly on dissenting voices,” HRW said.
该组织称，赞比亚警方和军队“在2026年8月大选前后几天，强迫失踪、任意拘留、殴打并威胁反对派成员和支持者，以及律师、记者和政府批评者”。
The group said that Zambian police and military “forcibly disappeared, arbitrarily detained, beat, and threatened opposition members and supporters as well as lawyers, journalists, and government critics in the days before and after general elections in August 2026”.
人权观察非洲事务副主任阿什瓦尼·布杜-舒尔茨（Ashwanee Budoo-Scholtz）补充道：“赞比亚政府应打破这一危险的镇压循环。”
“Zambia’s government should break this dangerous cycle of repression,” added Ashwanee Budoo-Scholtz, deputy Africa director at HRW.
“当局应立即停止正在进行的选举后打压，允许被拘留者会见律师并提供医疗照顾，释放所有被任意拘留者，并确保追究安全部队侵权行为的责任。”希奇莱马在8月获胜后宣誓就任赞比亚总统第二任期。批评人士坚称，此次选举因舞弊而蒙羞。
“The authorities should immediately halt the ongoing post-election crackdown, allow access to lawyers and provide medical care for those in detention, release everyone arbitrarily detained, and ensure accountability for abuses by security forces.”Hichilema sworn in for a second term as Zambia’s president following his victory in August. Critics have insisted that the election was marred by vote rigging.
就在他在赞比亚首都卢萨卡的国家英雄体育场举行就职典礼时，他的主要对手布赖恩·蒙迪比莱（Brian Mundubile）因宣称反对派赢得了选举而被指控叛国罪并被羁押。
As he was inaugurated at the National Heroes Stadium in the Zambian capital, Lusaka, his main rival Brian Mundubile was in detention accused of treason after claiming the opposition had won the election.
警方在8月13日大选的第二天突袭了蒙迪比莱的住所。前内阁成员穆托特韦·卡夫瓦亚（Mutotwe Kafwaya）在行动中被枪杀。人权观察呼吁赞比亚当局对该事件展开独立、公正且彻底的调查。大约十几名质疑选举结果的其他反对派人士已被捕。
Police raided Mundubile’s home the day after the August 13 elections. A former cabinet member, Mutotwe Kafwaya, was shot and killed during the operation. HRW called on the Zambian authorities to institute an independent, impartial and thorough investigation into the matter. About a dozen other opposition figures who have questioned the election results have been arrested.
与此同时，当局在大选结束两周后突然关闭了全国法院，赞比亚警方称此举是一项“基于情报的预防性措施”，但未提供细节。人权观察指出，法院关闭使反对派无法对选举结果提出法律挑战。
Meanwhile, authorities suddenly closed the country’s courts two weeks after the election, a move that Zambian police stated was an “intelligence-led and preventive measure”, without providing details. HRW noted that the closure prevents the opposition from filing legal challenges against the vote.
