GOVERNMENT says it will appeal to the Chinese authorities to allow Mary Musiyalike, the Zambian woman facing a death sentenced to serve a jail term instead of being executed.
Tens Kapoma, ministry of foreign affairs permanent secretary says Government will do its best to rescue Musiyalike from the death sentence. He said June 3 that although drug trafficking is a serious offence, Government will always protect its people to some extent.
“We are going to do our best as Government on behalf of Musiyalike to ensure that she is not executed although it’s not a guarantee that the Chinese government will grant us that,” he said.
Kapoma said China and Zambia have continued to enjoy cordial relations and that it is imperative for the Zambian government to petition the case.
When asked if it is possible to have Musiyalike extradited to Zambia, Kapoma said everything is in the hands of the Chinese government and it is premature to disclose that information.

This is crazy! The Zambian government let go those Chines murderers at Chambishi mine, none of them served a sentence or jail time in Zambia. The minister better bring this lady back home I do not care about 'although it’s not a guarantee that the Chinese government will grant us that' You should just bring her back just like you let those unrepentant murderers at Chambishi NFC mine.What a tragic it was!
