The opposition Patriotic Front (PF) has warned Zambabians against organizing anti-gay rights demonstrations while US Vice-President Kamala Harris is visiting the nation.
According to the international media, the party intends to demonstrate before the democracy summit, which will be held in the capital city of Lusaka.
Kamala Harris is set to speak at the summit, which is being co-hosted by Zambia, the US, Costa Rica, the Netherlands, and South Korea, and is anticipated to arrive in the southern African nation on Friday.
The gathering is allegedly a part of a plan to force gay rights on Zambians, according to approximately 50 members of parliament.
Amnesty International Zambia has urged the administration to defend LGBTQ rights vehemently and to prevent demonstrations from delaying the summit.
According to Security Minister Jack Mwiimbu, the government would not tolerate lawlessness at the conference.
