    The daily Post newspaper has rejected the tax-collecting agency's claims that it owes millions of dollars and says the shutdown is an attempt to silence it ahead of highly-contested August elections.

    Editor-in-chief Fred M'membe and deputy managing editor Joseph Mwenda are yet to be charged, police officials and newspaper staff said.

    They were arrested early Tuesday at the paper's offices in Lusaka.
