The Zambian Human Rights Commission are investigating claims that managers in a clothes shop painted shoplifters with yellow paint. The commission interviewed the store manager in the capital, Lusaka, who admitted that they were painted, saying they consented to it in place of being fined or taken to the police.
The commission only became aware of the incident from 2015 after these photos were shared on social media at the beginning of the week: We have been unable to verify if the photos are genuine.
The Human Rights Commission's Mweelwa Muleya said: "There is no crime that justifies torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.
