UPND Cadres Injured In Court Accident

About nine UPND members have since been injured with two critically injured and were rushed to the UTH.
Police saved the life of driver of the car who they whisked away in an anti-riot van and locked up him up in the courts cells for his safety from an angry mob of UPND cadres.
It has not yet been established why the driver of the car who is said to be one of the workers at the Magistrate court drove into the cadres at high speed suspected to have been 140km/h.
And in the ensuing confusion an identified man believed to have been serving a community service sentence at the court ended being the one the cadres vented their anger upon after he passed a comment about what had happened.
He was however whisked away by the Police who also detained him in the courts cells for his safety.
And Speaking to reporters after the matter was adjourned in view of the confusion, lead defense lawyer Sakwiba Sikota disclosed that the matter has since been adjourned to 3rd July 2014.
Mr. Sikota says the situation was not conducive to proceed with the matter.
Meanwhile UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema has described the incident as most unfortunate.
Mr Hichilema says he suspects that the bashing of his party cadres was intentional.
Speaking to reporters before he left for the UTH to check on the injured cadres, Mr. Hichilema observed that such a development has also demonstrated that even at court premises there is a breakdown of the law and order.
The UPND leader has wondered where people in the country will be seeking justice now that it has become clear that even at court they are prone to being attacked and killed.
He says people in the country should start reflecting on what is happening under the Patriotic Front government
