Zambia's New Cyber Laws Spark Concerns Over Surveillance and Repression

Zambia has recently enacted two new laws, the Cyber Security Act and the Cyber Crime Act, which have drawn criticism from various entities, including the United States Embassy in Zambia. These laws are accused of enabling the suppression of dissent and an excessive concentration of power. Critics fear that these laws could be used to monitor and repress political opponents and dissenting voices.
