Harry Findlay detained in Zambia; family urges urgent medical care

Businessman and social‑media personality Harry Findlay has been held by Zambian police since Monday, August 5 2026, without any formal charges. His family says he suffers from a serious medical condition and has repeatedly asked authorities to release his passport so he can travel abroad for specialist treatment, but the requests have been denied.

In a public statement the family appealed for urgent, compassionate medical attention consistent with Zambia’s constitution and humanitarian values, and urged the media and public to refrain from speculation while due legal process proceeds. They emphasized Mr Findlay’s presumption of innocence and asked that his rights be protected and his dignity respected.

Police have not commented on the detention or provided details of the alleged offence.
