Zambia's parliament today suspended 48 opposition lawmakers who boycotted President Edgar Lungu's address to legislators last March to protest his contested electoral victory.

"I have in exercise of my powers decided to suspend the 48 members of parliament from service for a period of 30 days with effect from today," said parliament speaker Patrick Matibini.
