Description
Zambia clamps down on private media after tense poll Zambian authorities suspended licenses for one of the country's main private television stations and two radio stations, a move the opposition claimed was aimed at stifling media freedom. MUVI TV was rebuked for its "unprofessional conduct" after broadcasting stories, before and after Zambia's closely-fought August 11 presidential vote, critical of supporters of the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) party.
