The Social Justice Centres Working Group (SJCWG) has called on the National Police Service and the Inspector General of Police to disclose the whereabouts of activist Davis Lichuma.

In a statement Saturday, the group demanded that authorities produce Lichuma, who was arrested on Thursday outside Parliament during protests marking the second anniversary of the June 25 demos.

"Should the police fail to account for him within 24 hours, we shall hold the Inspector General personally and institutionally accountable for any harm," the statement read.
