However, she did not explain why the Zambian government had defied a court order from its own High Court and handed over Biti to the Zimbabwean authorities. Writing on Twitter, Siliya said,
Govt denied Tendai Biti asylum because no breakdown of law & order in Zimbabwe. Citizens lives not under threat reason no influx of asylum seekers. SADC said elections free and fair.
Post-election violence suspects (6 died) to appear before courts and is internal matter.
