Africa-Press. <\/strong> <\/span>Les nouvelles lois sur la cyberse\u0301curite\u0301 et la lutte contre la cybercriminalite\u0301 en Zambie suscitent de vives inquie\u0301tudes au sein des milieux me\u0301diatiques et des droits de l’homme, a\u0300 moins de trois mois des e\u0301lections pre\u0301sidentielles pre\u0301vues le 13 aou\u0302t 2026.<\/p>\n

Le parlement zambien a adopte\u0301 ces lois en avril dernier, avant qu’elles ne soient imme\u0301diatement ratifie\u0301es par le pre\u0301sident Hakainde Hichilema, avec des assurances gouvernementales selon lesquelles leur objectif est de lutter contre la fraude e\u0301lectronique, les abus en ligne, les faux comptes et le harce\u0300lement nume\u0301rique.<\/p>\n

Cependant, de nombreux me\u0301dias inde\u0301pendants et organisations de de\u0301fense de la liberte\u0301 d’expression estiment que certaines dispositions de ces lois sont floues et pourraient e\u0302tre utilise\u0301es pour restreindre les voix critiques et encourager l’autocensure, surtout a\u0300 l’approche de l’e\u0301che\u0301ance e\u0301lectorale.<\/p>\n

Ce changement le\u0301gislatif a suscite\u0301 l’inquie\u0301tude de plusieurs journalistes, dont Joseph Mwenda, re\u0301dacteur en chef du journal inde\u0301pendant “News Diggers”, qui a de\u0301clare\u0301 que les autorite\u0301s avaient re\u0301impose\u0301 des restrictions sur les me\u0301dias de manie\u0300re diffe\u0301rente, apre\u0300s que le pre\u0301sident Hichilema avait pre\u0301ce\u0301demment abroge\u0301 le de\u0301lit de diffamation a\u0300 l’e\u0301gard du pre\u0301sident, utilise\u0301 pendant des anne\u0301es pour faire taire les opposants.<\/p>\n

Mwenda a de\u0301clare\u0301 que la nouvelle loi sur la cyberse\u0301curite\u0301 confe\u0300re a\u0300 la police et aux agences d’application de la loi des pouvoirs e\u0301tendus pour effectuer des perquisitions et des intrusions dans les domiciles de\u0300s qu’il y a suspicion de possession d’informations lie\u0301es a\u0300 la se\u0301curite\u0301 nationale, ajoutant que certaines critiques pourraient e\u0302tre interpre\u0301te\u0301es comme des “cybercrimes”.<\/p>\n

De son co\u0302te\u0301, Austin Kayanza, directeur de l’Institut des me\u0301dias en Afrique du Sud en Zambie, a exprime\u0301 son inquie\u0301tude quant aux formulations vagues dans la loi, soulignant qu’il existe une disposition pre\u0301voyant une peine pouvant aller jusqu’a\u0300 25 ans de prison pour quiconque posse\u0300de “trop d’informations”, sans fournir de de\u0301finition claire de ce terme, ce qui, selon lui, ouvre la porte a\u0300 la cible de toute personne.<\/p>\n

Charles Maafa, fondateur du Centre “Makandi” de journalisme d’investigation inde\u0301pendant, a e\u0301galement confirme\u0301 que les journalistes sont devenus plus prudents dans le choix des sujets qu’ils couvrent, en particulier les questions politiques et e\u0301lectorales, de peur de poursuites judiciaires.<\/p>\n

Il a ajoute\u0301 que la peur ne se limite plus aux journalistes, mais s’est e\u0301tendue aux citoyens ordinaires, qui he\u0301sitent a\u0300 exprimer leurs opinions politiques en ligne de peur de subir des poursuites ou d’e\u0302tre emprisonne\u0301s.<\/p>\n

En revanche, le gouvernement zambien insiste sur le fait que ces lois sont ne\u0301cessaires pour prote\u0301ger l’espace nume\u0301rique et renforcer la cyberse\u0301curite\u0301, bien que des me\u0301dias inde\u0301pendants estiment qu’elles pourraient e\u0302tre utilise\u0301es directement contre le journalisme en ligne, qui repre\u0301sente une part essentielle du paysage me\u0301diatique du pays.<\/p>\n
