The body of Lemekani Nathan Nyirenda, a fighter recruited by the mercenary group Wagner for combat operations in Ukraine, was returned to Zambia on Sunday. He died in battle in Ukraine in September fighting for the Russian side.

Nyirenda’s body arrived at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport in the capital Lusaka and was accompanied by Zambia’s Ambassador to Russia, Shadreck Luwita, its foreign ministry said. The body was received by Nyirenda’s family and foreign ministry officials, the ministry stated in a series of tweets Sunday. In agency pictures from the airport, a coffin can be seen in a white hearse with Cyrillic writing on the outside indicating the provenance of the casket.

He appeared in various social media videos encourage prisoners to join the ranks of Wagner. In exchange for a tour of duty, prisoners are granted a healthy salary and amnesty upon completion – and survival – of six-month tour. Or they would receive a lump sum payment to their families on event of their deaths. Last month, Prigozhin admitted to recruiting Nyirenda from a Russian jail, saying he chose to fight to “repay debts” to Russia and “died a hero.

Really sorry.

The process of stopping and postponing the execution of MahanSadrat is still very worrying since there has been no phone call from him to his family/ friends. Please be his voice. v

These prison recruits are slave fighters, surely a violation of international law.
