The editorial staff of The Post in Zambia was summoned on contempt charges prompted by an op-ed commenting on the prosecution of Chansa Kabwela, the paper’s news editor. The Post published an op-ed last week by Cornell University law professor Muna Ndula that was critical of Kabwela being prosecuted for circulating obscene materials. The charges facing the rest of the staff carry a maximum penalty of six months in prison.
