Discrimination on the grounds of ethnicity, origin or nationality

William Steven Banda was deported to Malawi unlawfully, wrongfully and out of political malice.
John Luson Chinula was removed from his home in Ndola on 31 August 1994. He was driven to Lusaka International Airport with the intention of deporting him. He was served with a deportation order signed by the Minister of Home Affairs alleging that he was a threat to Zambia’s peace and security. He was forcibly sedated and later found himself at Lilongwe Police station in Malawi. His Warrant of Deportation also alleged that he was “by his presence, likely to be a danger to peace and good order in Zambia”. No reason in law or in fact was advanced for this finding.
