According to a Heal Zimbabwe Trust (HZT) analysis between January and June this year,ZANU PF supporters and State security agents contributed to 55% of the major human rights violations in the past six months, a report by a local non-governmental organisation has revealed. Broken down further it was found that Zanu PF supporters contributed to 29% of the human rights violation cases in the country. At least 13% of the violations were attributed to police and intelligence personnel with 10% each to war veterans and soldiers. The other contributors to violations were identified as youths. Zanu PF and MDC-T accounted for 19%, traditional and political leaders 16% and officials from the Registrar General’s Office accounted for 3%.
There are widespread reports of increased violence are coming as the country prepares for elections on July 31. We call on all election observers to meticulously document human rights violations, and urge SADC to ensure that all parties are aware that human rights violations will not be tolerated.
WE ARE WATCHING!!!
