Zambian Voice Executive Director Chilufya Tayali

The Zambian Voice Executive Director Chilufya Tayali says his organization will not be intimidated or threatened by whatever form of force or power to stop its work.

Mr. Tayali in a statement says following his violent attack by UPND cadres last month, UPND members, including the deputy Secretary General Kuchunga Simuusamba has continued to issue threats on him unless he stops talking about the UPND.

He says UPND members and its leadership should sober up and be reasonable in their political activities.

Mr Tayali says the violence he suffered at the hands of UPND members is the worst kind of hooliganism that a big party like UPND should never be associated with.

He says while on 6^th February, 2015 UPND deputy spokesperson Edwin Lifwekelo met him to apologize after 10 days since the incident happened, he was today called by Mr Simuusamba who allegedly issued disparaging, intimidating and threatening remarks against.
