*We Did Not Deport Biti, We Handed Him Back: Zambia* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?bw Zambia’s Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services and Chief Government Spokesperson, Dora Siliya has claimed that her government did not deport Tendai Biti but simply handed him over to the Zimbabwe authorities due to irregularities in his paperwork. She also claimed that the Zambians had not defied a high court order from Justice Chawatama, saying that the order had come too late after Biti had already been processed. However, she did not explain why Zambia had violated international refugee law, by forcibly returning an asylum seeker to his country of origin. The move has been condemned by the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR). ---------- *Latest itel S24 now available on Pindula* $124 Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.
