Silence of the Lambs: How Zambia's New Cyber Laws Are Killing Freedom of Expression
by LCK Chambers
Zambia’s return to multiparty democracy in 1991 ushered in an era of expanded freedoms—of speech, of assembly, of association, and of the press. These freedoms are the lifeblood of any constitutional democracy. Today, more than three decades later, those freedoms are under threat once again—not from overt authoritarianism, but from laws passed in the name of “digital safety.”
The newly enacted Cyber Security Act No. 3 of 2025 and Cyber Crimes Act No. 4 of 2025 were introduced with the promise of combating online fraud, identity theft, cyberbullying, and child exploitation. These are real and serious concerns. But the laws that were passed go far beyond addressing cybercrime.
They have created a powerful legal framework that enables the State to police what it calls “critical information.” Because this term is dangerously vague and undefined, it now functions as a gateway to censor political speech, silence dissent, and intimidate the press.
If Zambia is committed to democratic governance, this approach cannot be allowed to stand.
