A Zambian student jailed in Russia was killed during a battle in Ukraine, Zambia’s foreign ministry said
A Zambian student, jailed in Russia was killed during a battle in Ukraine, Zambia’s foreign ministry said Monday. The student was a 23-year-old student the Zambian government had sponsored to study nuclear engineering at the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute. The man was identified as Lemekhani Nathan Nyirenda by Zambia’s Foreign Minister Stanley Kakubo in a statement. Nyirenda was convicted in 2020 of unspecified crimes in Russia and sent to prison for nine years and six months.
“In view of this very sad development, the Zambian Government has requested the Russian authorities to urgently provide information on the circumstances under which a Zambian citizen, serving a prison sentence in Moscow, could have been recruited to fight in Ukraine and subsequently lose his life.” In August, a CNN investigation discovered Russia was recruiting prisoners into its military in exchange for their freedom.
