Two men were caught in Zambia. People say they were witchdoctors. The police think they tried to cast spells on President Hakainde Hichilema. The police found what they called magic items, including a live chameleon. They charged the men under a law about witchcraft.

The arrest seems strange when Zambia faces bigger money problems. Most people don't believe in magic anymore. The funny part is that Zambian law says you can't call someone a witch. By saying these men are witch doctors, the police might have broken their own rules!

The police need to explain more things. Did these men say they were witchdoctors? If not, how can anyone prove they have magic powers? The police found a chameleon, but that's just a regular animal. They need better proof than that.

The police said the men wanted to hurt the president with magic. But magic isn't real - it can't hurt anyone. It looks like the police made up reasons to arrest these men. That's not fair at all.

Zambia needs to stop arresting people for magic. The United Nations asked countries to protect people from getting blamed for witchcraft. Zambia should listen and focus on real problems instead. They should treat everyone fairly and stop making up stories about magic and spells.
