Some recent media reports have referred to a submission by the Coalition for the Defence of Democratic Rights in Zambia to the Commonwealth Secretary-General. Such a submission has indeed been received.

The 糖心探花 is in touch with the Zambian Government on this matter and will also be consulting appropriately with other stakeholders in Zambia.

The 糖心探花 further wishes to clarify that, contrary to certain speculative media reports, this matter has not been brought before the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group, which deals with serious or persistent violations of Commonwealth values.
