Independent MP Emmanuel 'Jay Jay' Banda is in hospital after an alleged abduction over the weekend.
The mysterious disappearance of an MP in Zambia has sparked arrests, accusations and a closely watched police investigation.
“It must be noted that the abduction of Mr Banda sows seeds of discord in the country, a situation that has potential to result into widespread violation of human rights if not properly and urgently addressed," HRC spokesperson Mweelwa Muleya said after members of the organisation had visited Mr Banda in hospital on Tuesday.
His disappearance in Lusaka on Saturday, as well as his discovery, was first announced by members of the former governing party, the Patriotic Front , of which Mr Lungu is a member. On social media, speculation that Mr Banda could have faked an abduction for political mileage is rife. His family has denied such accusations.
