What is wrong with our Home Office, why these draconian policies regarding Jamaicans, Zimbabweans, Afghans [we presume this will change any moment now], Nigerians, Ghanians and others of mainly African origin?</p><p>ZHRO have organised the "Walk for Freedom" annully since 2017.

The awards were clearly held in the wake of the rape and death in labour of a 14 year old girl.

It also seems the Presidential Spokes person is also distancing himself from the same awards ceremony. It seems they are trying to implicate the Cabinet which is obviously compromised of the President and the Presidents spokes person and the entire Government.</div><div>Sadly for them, official documents seem to show that the awards seem to be under the direct purview of the President, which means the Presidential spokes person was highly like involved.</div><div> </div><div>This is the same Government that accused an actual sitting MDC Alliance MP Joanna Mamombe and MDC youth Members at the time, Cecilia Chambiri and Netsai Marova of Abducting, Raping and Torturing themselves with such degrading treatment such as sucking their boobies, drinking urine and eating faeces and sticking crude instruments into their genitals and rectums.</div><div><br /></div><div>Whilst the regime keeps mute, they are actually endorsing paedophilia. Sadly the usual ZANU PF commentators such as Dr Masimba Mavaza and ZANU PF U.K. seem to be supporting their leaders in Harare.</div><div><br /></div><div>Also sadly, the Home Secretary and the U.K. Embassy in Zimbabwe also seem to be muted.</div><div><br /></div><div>What also seems to be happening is that, the likes of Madam Boss, are refusing to protest against child abuse and the whole of the ZANU PF machinery is completely perplexed and crippled and at odds with its self on how to condemn paedophilia and child abuse within its own ranks, yet trying desperately using the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) to paint everyone else who is liable for deportation as failed asylum seekers with the same brush.</div><div> </div><div>ZHRO says everyone in Zimbabwe should have their full human rights respected, regardless how low in society and how likes of Passion Java and Madam Boss perceive them to be.</div><div><br /></div><div>ZHRO would like to thank all those who attended the Wednesday Vigil Protest.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Chimurenga war was not fought for just ZANU PF. It was fought for every Zimbabwean. The President and First Lady maybe need to be sent to school to learn what Human Rights are, given their track record or lack thereof when it comes to Protecting the Rights of All Zimbabweans.</div><div><br /></div><div>The next Vigil Protest will be outside the Zimbabwean Embassy and will be announced through official ZHRO platforms.

Apparent</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">It has come to our attention that since the
week commencing 5th July 2021, the UK Home Office "Enforcement Unit"
has been detaining large numbers of Zimbabweans for the purpose of deporting [<em><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">for those with a criminal conviction</span></em>]
or </span><strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">forcibly removing</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> [<em><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">those within
the asylum system</span></em>] on [expensive] chartered flights the first of
which departed on Wednesday 21st July 2021. Those being "targeted"
are mainly those without leave to remain and / or have no 'live'
leave-to-remain applications filed with the Home Office. The Home Office are
claiming that most are "hardened criminals" - but this is a gross
distortion of the facts - simply pandering to bigotry.</span></p>
<p><em><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">It is our considered view that
many of the deportees face imminent danger if they are forcibly returned to
Zimbabwe.</span></b></em><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The first flight left Stansted Airport at
11:30 pm on Wednesday the 21st July 2021 with merely 14 deportees on-board an
Airbus A380. Many potential forced-removals being removed from the flight due
to Legal interventions appertaining to individual cases. Those that did go,
were not "activists"</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The problem we have with the Home Office is
that this "TARGET DRIVEN" policy is indiscriminate and fails to offer
any real protection for those who have <em><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">fled
Zimbabwe due to persecution from the ruling Zanu PF Party.</span></b></em></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We are in need of funding a 'class action'
[or such-like] against the Home Office policy in the High Court [or Higher], to
prevent such discriminatory actions upon the Zimbabwean diaspora. Cases are not
being assessed on merit, and the Asylum Process itself is too convoluted,
complex and expensive for those who have fled persecution.</span></em><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The same 'heavy-handed' approach is being
applied to other Nationalities such as the Jamaicans, Vietnamese amongst
others. However we are focussing on the Zimbabwean diaspora only.</span></p>

institutionalised</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">11th July 2021</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Tendai Biti [opposition Vice President] had
described the IMF as <em><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“a naïve and
dishonest institution”</span></em> after it published a report forecasting a 7%
growth in Zimbabwe’s economy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Zimbabwe has been robbed of US$24.6 billion
of public funds between 2015 and 2019, former finance minister Tendai Biti
said. He also said that Zimbabwe is also losing US$3.6 billion through Gold and
Cigarette smuggling annually.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Between 2009 and 2014, US$15 billion worth of
diamonds were plundered. The total figure of US$43.2 billion of looted public
funds and plundered natural resources is enough to run Zimbabwe hospitals for
900 years.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">HUMAN rights organisations have reported
President Emmerson Mnangagwa to the United Nations (UN) and the African Union
(AU) for overseeing worsening gross human rights violations in the country.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR),
the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights
Southern African, and the Human Rights Defenders Network have dispatched a
letter to UN special rapporteurs and their AU partners.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">In their petition, the rights groups raise a
red flag over a <em><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“disturbing trend in Zimbabwe of
weaponising the criminal justice system”.</span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">They also accuse Mnangagwa’s administration,
which came into power in November 2017 following a military coup that removed
strongman Robert Mugabe from office, of abusing the courts to punish dissenting
individuals who are mostly opposition politicians, activists, and journalists.</span></p>

Africa (CAISA)</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> is deeply
concerned about the deteriorating state of human rights in parts of the region
in recent weeks. Of special concern are the situations prevailing in Republic
of South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Eswatini. These four countries are
facing three unique situations which however have a common thread of human
rights violations passing through them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">CAISA is also worried about the closure of
operating space for civil society in Zimbabwe where authorities are making
illegal demands regarding the operations of NGOs and civil society organisations.
We call on the Government of Zimbabwe to respect and uphold Constitutionally
guaranteed rights to assembly and freedom of expression which form the bedrock
of civil society work.</span></p>

<p><em><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Despite incremental improvements from past
elections, domestic and international observers noted serious concerns and
called for further reforms necessary to meet regional and international
standards for democratic elections. Numerous factors contributed to a flawed
overall election process, including: the Zimbabwe Election Commission’s lack of
independence; heavily biased state media favoring the ruling party; voter
intimidation; unconstitutional influence of tribal leaders; disenfranchisement
of alien and diaspora voters; failure to provide a preliminary voters roll in
electronic format; politicization of food aid; security services’ excessive use
of force; and lack of precision and transparency around the release of election
results.”</span></em><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Significant human rights issues included:
unlawful or arbitrary killings of civilians by security forces; torture and
arbitrary detention by security forces; cases of cruel, inhuman, or degrading
treatment or punishment; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions;
political prisoners or detainees; arbitrary or unlawful interference with
privacy; serious problems with the independence of the judiciary; serious

Jah Prayzah is said to be appealing for the Zimbabwean people to vote for him so that he wins this award and subsequently get a bigger head than the one he already has!<br /><br />But this is a guy who is silent about the evils of this Zanu PF Junta. Not only that, he sings at their jamborees where they celebrate their ill gotten power with no sense of self awareness at all. He was also silent during the <b>#ZimbabweanLivesMatter</b> campaign. He is <u><b>NOT</b></u> a man of the people. <br /><br />I will go on and say any so called celebrity in Zimbabwe that does not publicly criticize Zanu PF's systematic destruction of Zimbabwe, is an "enabler of fascism". There are many of them, we all know them. Now if these 'celebrities' are not echoing the cries of the masses then their celebrity is pointless to us, the masses. If we the masses are easily suckered in by such pointless celebrities then we are also part of the problem. This is why Zimbabweans should stop giving attention to these Zanu PF enablers. These people are laughing on our faces and we keep getting dazzled by whatever it is that they sell to us. If you want Zimbabwe to get rid of Zanu PF and become a proper country where things work and where people are treated like human beings, you contradict yourself when you give attention to people like Jah Prayzah. <br /><br />Until the day he says "Zanu pf must go", Jah Prayzah will not be getting my vote nor my attention. <br /><br />By <br /><br />Sindile Ncube<br />#ZanupfMustGo<br />#ZimbabweanLivesMatter <br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952094098185466663.post-49814376310882984202020-10-05T05:54:00.001-07:002020-10-05T05:55:48.261-07:00Rise in Shooting Fatalities in ZimbabweThe Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation (ZHRO) is distraught and extremely dismayed at the rise in shooting fatalities in Zimbabwe especially in the last 30 days.<br />

<a href="https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.chronicle.co.zw/two-men-shoot-soldiers-gunned-down-in-shootout/amp/" target="_blank">The first reported incident in the last 30 days was around the 6th of September 2020. Reports are that it occurred in the Chivhu area as reported in the various Zimbabwean State media and News Papers. The reports are that there was a firefight with two men who are said to have previously shot two soldiers. The two men are said to have been shot and fatally wounded. The manner in which the deployment of the Zimbabwean forces has been carried out is shocking when looked at by the lay. It seems to be leading to conflicts within the communities up and down the whole of Zimbabwe.</a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.cite.org.zw/soldiers-fatally-shoot-2-vic-falls-villagers/amp/" target="_blank">The second reported incident was around the 1st of October 2020 in the world renowned Victoria Falls area. It is alleged that members of the Zimbabwean security forces shot two men, fatally injuring one. There seems to have been an argument of sorts that led to the shooting.</a><br />

It is also alleged that one youth lost his life following the shooting and two security guards are under arrest.</a><br />

Zimbabwe is a country that has historically been plagued by more than just isolated incidents of Rights Abuses. This is the same country that previously bard entry to Manfred Nowak, the Special Rapporteur on torture in 2009.<br />

<br />
It is a shame and it is extremely concerning that the Zimbabwe National Army is deployed all over Zimbabwe, living with the people they are meant to protect, not in barracks, yet there is no civil war, there is no invasion and incidents involving security forces, have been escalating.<br />
<br />
In times of peace, soldiers are usually confined to the borders of countries, barracks and military installations.<br />

</tbody></table>
Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation (ZHRO) member Bigboy Sibanda, who is a human rights activist and political agitator, is currently caught up in a potential Human Rights quagmire with the United Kingdom Home Office.<br />
<br />
In 2019 Bigboy Sibanda with the help of ZHRO published an article in which he detailed interviews and interrogation by the Zimbabwean authorities in a UK detention centre in Gatwick called Brook House. The article was published on the ZHRO website and Facebook on Friday the 24th of March 2019 and can be found on the following link<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blog.zhro.org.uk/2019/05/uk-allows-interviews-by-their.html">https://blog.zhro.org.uk/2019/05/uk-allows-interviews-by-their.html</a><br />
<br />
This article was one of the first whistle blowing attempts by a Zimbabwean in the UK detailing the extent to which the British Government at the time was involved in illicit dealings with the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU PF) (Zimbabwe government) in the United Kingdom, in an effort to meet the targets of the U.K. Home Offices Deportations targets.<br />
<br />
Such cases ended up in the U.K. courts and was seen by the UK courts as a likely breach of human rights as the Zimbabwe Government and Zimbabwean authorities are well known for using State Abduction,Torture and Killings through summary execution to silence dissenting voices.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jan/05/home-office-faces-legal-cases-over-zimbabwean-asylum-seekers" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jan/05/home-office-faces-legal-cases-over-zimbabwean-asylum-seekers</a><br />
<br />
At present Bigboy Sibanda is not allowed to work, volunteer nor study by the United Kingdom Home Office. He is also not getting any income from the same United Kingdom of Great Britain and NorthernIreland Home Office although He is an Asylum seeker.<br />
<br />
ZHRO is currently helping Bigboy Sibanda by topping up his mobile phone so that he’s human rights of having Internet can be maintained. This also allows Bigboy Sibanda to communicate with other people. As we all know the right to communicate and express oneself is a fundamental right as human beings are socially inclined and are not used to isolation.<br />
<br />
“Home bound Isolation,” also known as extreme Social Distancing, is clearly something that everyone in the whole world is not accustomed to and knows can severely affect mentalhealth.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, for people like Bigboy Sibanda who are Asylum Seekers, getting no help at all from the Home Office, yet are destitute, social isolation is something that he has to live with on a daily basis, because he is not able to go and visit people that he wants to visit, as he does not have travel money and he is not allowed to work.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately the Home Office is currently not providing Bigboy Sibanda with any accommodation food or financial assistance.<br />
<br />
Incredibly the Home Office have commanded Bigboy Sibanda to go to a reporting centre on the 24th of August 2020. Yet the same Home Office have not even provided Bigboy Sibanda with the travel money for him to get to the reporting centre. Bigboy Sibanda has verbally advised that he will not be able to get to the reporting centre, as the journey he has to make to get to Becket House reporting centre needs two buses and the Home Office is not helping with travel money.<br />
<br />
Every week for 9 years, Bigboy Siabanda had been reporting to the Home Office Reporting centre. This has recently been changed to fought nightly reporting, still without any funding and without any travel money from the Home Office at all.<br />
<br />
They are in effect making him break the law that they have set, yet they are not following their own law of providing Bigboy Sibanda with travel money, the measly £37.50 per week and accommodation.<br />
<br />
When Bigboy Sibanda heard that Chipochedenga Parirenyatwa the ZHRO Chair Lady has been nominated for BAME award, he was extremely please for her. He was also eager to do some studying, but he can not do this as the home office has bared him from studying anything.<br />
<br />
To aid Bigboy Sibanda in this, ZHRO leadership have verbally intimidated that they are likely to start a back to school program for asylum seekers and refugees from Zimbabwe, alongside Organisations like OLive which is run by the University of East London, by ZHRO providing transportation costs to and from the courses when lockdown is over.<br />
<br />
Bigboy Sibanda has advised that he wishes very much to take part in the ZHRO Walk for Freedom 2020. The ZHRO walk for Freedom is starting on Saturday 29th of August 2020 in Brighton and is scheduled to end at Hampton Court Train Station.<br />

It takes a feat of sheer nefarious brutality and maliciousness for one soul to outdo the diabolical acts of one of the world’s renowned dictators.</p><p>As a believer of the afterlife, I can imagine a grandiose banqueting table made from the crushed skulls and mutilated bones of virtuous humans, set in the deepest pits of hell and the souls of Mussolini, Hitler, Mugabe ,Idi Amin and all their fellow comrades in arms preparing to welcome Mnangagwa at the very top of the table after displacing the devil himself.</p><p>Each day and at every turn sets a new precedence for Mnangagwa and his posse to transcend themselves in the heinousness that knows no bounds. Burning tears trickle down the now familiar path of hollow and ashen cheeks of Zimbabwean citizens that have done nothing but speak out about their abused basic human rights. There is a clear and discernible fetish that the Zanu-PF party has for young women who demonstrate for their rights and wellbeing. The most indisputable pictures of the MDC Trio; Netsai Marova, Cecilia Chimbiri and Joanna Mamombe’s traumatised faces and ripped clothes covered in human excrement after they were found dumped on the road side after being abducted and tortured for almost 48 hours, are a gruesome testimony of the complete lack of humanity that the Mnangagwa administration has established. The three young women were beaten, raped by guns in their rectal passage, forced to drink each other’s urine and left to deal with crippling post traumatic stress disorder. </p><p>As if their unthinkable ordeal was not enough, they are constantly being reminded of their trauma by being subjected to court cases in hospital, imprisonment and being blamed for faking their own abductions. The junta’s barbarism does not discriminate on gender as evidenced by the abductions of Davison Chamisa, Tawanda Muchehiwa only to name a few, who were abducted and brutalised by state agents using the same modus operandi as the MDC Trio and others. “Crimes” such as undermining the power of the president, demonstrating or inciting violence because one was wearing a face mask bearing the hashtag Zanu-PF must go are among those alleged for the victims that have chosen to speak out for themselves and those that cannot do so for themselves.</p><p>Investigative and award winning freelance journalist Hopewell Chin’ono and politician Jacob Ngarivhume are among the many journalists, lawyers, doctors and nurses who have been recently incarcerated in the confines of grim and sorrowful cells of prison for “inciting the public to commit violence” and calling for protests against the less than minimal wages, poor and dilapidated facilities and gross negligence of basic human rights. The unchanging allegations have become an undying tune on the lips of arresting agents on anyone who is brave enough to recognise and stand up against the government that cares only about their own wellbeing and their perpetually looting pockets. A whole country is living in constant fear with no realisation if they will see themselves past a few days in their future. A country so corrupt that it has set social media ablaze with the hashtag #ZimbabweanLivesMatter in the midst of a life changing pandemic. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0-ApE4akE3Y/X0TtlvmQP2I/AAAAAAAAAbk/46PFwye8ITUKDiOLYTpdz001vy9Cd8BhACLcBGAsYHQ/s627/blog-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Flag" border="0" data-original-height="209" data-original-width="627" height="107" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0-ApE4akE3Y/X0TtlvmQP2I/AAAAAAAAAbk/46PFwye8ITUKDiOLYTpdz001vy9Cd8BhACLcBGAsYHQ/w320-h107/blog-02.jpg" title="Zimbabwean Partial Flag" width="320" /></a></div>Zimbabweans and fellow sympathisers from different organisations worldwide are taking their cries to Zimbabwean embassies in their own Country’s; of human rights refuge, hoping that one day they will be heard, their lives are spared and they do not die by the hands of Mnangagwa pawns. All the impoverished and silenced citizens wait in the hope of international intervention wishing that the images that are inundating all media platforms will speak of the truth that the junta is trying to conceal. Opposition is still imminent in the forms of those “enforcing the law” in the incident of the police firing rubber bullets at the Zimbabwe Lives Matter and Not In My Name protestors in Pretoria who were speaking out for the lives and futures that are being destroyed by the tyrannical administration that is Zanu-PF. <p></p><p>How many more heart-breaking images of women, children and the elderly being beaten and killed for wanting basic rights, do they need their eyes to behold for them to stand with the people rather than fire at the people? How much more blood needs to be shed before a country can be completely free? A Zimbabwean flag without the red and yellow stripes representative of blood shed in liberation and the citizens not enjoying the looted riches is the clearest illustration of the plight of the country which is no longer free!

The peacefull planned protest pencilled in for Friday the 14th of August 2020, at the Zimbabwe Embassy, at 429 The Strand London has been cancled. With the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions and the threat of infection and loss of life especialy for those more mature than than the some, there has been a clarion call from Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation (ZHRO) Elders to get active in a new and different way, especialy if one can not travel. Muzvare Rose Mupunga from ZHRO made an empassioned plea to ZHRO members to stand up and be counted, to protest in solidarity with those stuck in Zimbabwe, to fight Klepotocracy and the derth of Human Rights.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
In light of the recent events in Zimbabwe, where those such as Hopewell Chin'ono, the MDC 3, Job Wiwa Sikala, Fadzai Mahere and others who protest against the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU PF) Junta govenment led by E. D. Mnangagwa, are being labeled as terorists, it seems the grass roots are shouting even louder in the face of oppression.</div>
<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it seems the nature of E.D. Mnangagwa is to use brute force against an unarmed, educated and enlightened Zimbabwean people, who now want the regime out, before more inocent lives are lost to their kleptocracit ruining plunder and brutal inhuman rule of the New Deception.<br />
<br />
In the empassioned speech, she gave a clear example of ZHRO Chair Lady Chipo Parirenyatwa, who took it upon herself to protest for the lives of the Zimbabwean, weeks before the Hashtag #ZimbabweanLivesMatter started trending.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is absolutely no doubt that the people of Zimbabwe are upset with the rot that has set into the Mnangagwa regime. The Mnangagwa regime is now trying to stop a stunami. With that, it likely is best for the international comunity to get involved before the people take things into their own hands out of desperation, in the face of an out of touch Ruling Elite.</div>
<br />
The next Wednesday Vigil protest will be announced on ZHRO official platforms. ZHRO would like to encourage all its members to keep in touch through social media.<br />

On the 31st of July 2020, Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation (ZHRO) members, joined others from the persecuted MDC Alliance, ZANU PF converts and other civic organisations to publicly tell Mnangagwa and ZANU PF its time to go. The peacefull planned protest was held at the Zimbabwe Ebassy, at 429 The Strand London, near the Charing Cross tube and main line train station.<br />
<br />
The protest was initially called for by the masses. The setting up on the day of the banners was by Vuka Zimbabwe and ZHRO, with the latter also setting up a water and drinks stall. The arrest of Hopewell Chin'ono, Jacob Ngarivume, The torture of the MDC 3 young ladies, the arrest of MDC femail spokes person, Fadazi Mahere and the continued persecution of all those calling for an end to corruptoin has led to the enragement of the masses, both in Zimbabwe and in the diasora.<br />

<br />
Tapiwa Muskwe (ZHRO member) who is usually reserved, could not help himself, when he join the clarion call and added his voice to the proceedings by publicly telling Zimbabwes Kloptocrats to go. Unfortunately Tapiwa Muskwe would not take a follow up question, so the interview was extreemly short.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Nick Mangwana fan club needs to know that their use of arrests, the courts, abductions and intimidation to mute the people who are fighting for a better Zimbabwe is only going to make the voice of the voiceless amplified.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When they start asking chat show hosts, journalists and citizens of foreign lands why they are meddling in Zimbabwean affairs, the answer is simple. ZANU PF is heavily involved in the stealing their (foreigners) taxes and donations. This means all those asking questions, including and especially those who are upset with ZANU PF have every right to get involved.</span><br />

The abduction is said to have been carried out by State Security agents. He was abducted from his home in Harare Zimbabwe, following credible allegations that the President and or his; children may have been involved in the looting of COVID-19 donations. <br />

The abduction occurred today, Monday 20th of July 2020. He filmed part of the abduction from his cell phone and shared it, for the whole world to see that the regime of current the President and leader, of the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU PF), Emmerson Mnangagwa is indeed much, much, much, worse for the people of Zimbabwe, than the one formerly described as despotic, the late Robert Gabriel Mugabe.<br />
<br />
Robert Mugabe had ruled Zimbabwe for 38 years and Mnangagwa was seen as Mugabes right hand man.<br />

ZHRO is extremely dismayed to hear that the abduction of Journalists without a warrant, is still going on in Zimbabwe. This is the same country where the current regime keeps touting around the world that, Zimbabwe is open for business. At this rate they are showing that the landlocked country, is in fact, more open for abductions and torture. One wonders which business man will be happy to take his money to Zimbabwe, after reading about such regular occurring abductions. One also wonders which human rights sanctions will be removed from a country that is still engaging in the abduction of journalists that are not part of, or forming political organisations that might lead to the overthrow of the government.<br />
<br />
The abduction of the brave journalist has been likely precipitated by his investigative journalism which led to the firing of the Minister of Health for being involved in the stealing of COVID-19 donations. The donations were made by countries like, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (U.K.), the United States of America (USA) and the European Union (EU). The credible allegations are that the theft leads all the way to the fruit of the Presidents loins.<br />
<br />
Hopewell Chin’ono’s laywer, Beatrice Mtetwa who was also once abducted and tortured by the same ZANU PF state apparatus, knows all too well, exactly what the Mnangwgwa regime and its state and non state proxies may do to Hopwell Chin’ono.<br />
<br />
The abduction of Hopwell Chin’ono is not too long after the abduction of the World’s Best Young Politician of the year, Zimbabwean, Movement for Democratic Change Alliance (MDC-A) MP Joana Mamombe. She was abducted and tortured along with MDC Youth activists Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova, by the same regime that is said to be, evil, blood sucking and despotic. The regime is known for, molesting and rapping and strongly rumoured to castrate and mutilate the genitalia of men and women.<br />
<br />
Also abducted today is one of the men spearheading the Yellow Vest Zimbabwe demonstrations, which are planned for the 31st of July 2020, Jacob Ngarivhume. There are credible rumours that the regime is also are hunting for Promise Mkwananzi with blood shot red eyes. He seems thus far at the time of writing to have evaded the State security.<br />

Hopwell Chino'no usually provides some context. Here it’s as Literal can be and as timeless as the Bible. There is no need to provide any context. Even a Grade 7 can understand and explain what this means. It’s so fitting, that the wicked will then see this post and then, like clockwork, history repeats itself again and again.</div>

The wicked get angry for being called wicked. They then become even more wicked.</div>

People in lockdown are resorting to sharing more clips and giving more of their views on what they share, in a much more open way. This is one of the clips that was shared by a ZHRO member.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
In this clip a man accuses ZANU PF of Dabling in Evil whichcraft, beacuse the police have been reduced to carrying their goods on the top of their heads. He says, (very loose translation) "In this photo one can see that, that person has carried that load from Kachana, (Very Far indeed). I'm, sorry if there is anyone who in ZANU PF in this group, but y'all ZANU PF folk are Evil. Yall dable in some evil which craft to allow the country to deteriorate to the level, that even the police are struggling this much. This is B*** S*** !!"<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All the while he laughs, in a rather sarchastic way, that mocks the ZANU PF Party which is currently the Govenening Political party in Zimbabwe. </div>

<br />
In this Video clip we see a Humble Granny Explain why 31 July 2020 in Zimbabwe;<br />
<br />
Needs to happen.<br />
<br />
The same demonstration on 31 July 2020 has had the establishemnt condemn it, yet the junta establishment has aided and abeted in so much looting, the people who are actually encouraging the peacefull planned protests in Zimbabwe and in the Diaspora are Zimbabweans themselves.<br />
<br />
The Junta is always trying to look for side shows and diversions, however this time, it is unfortunate that they are against the will of the people. The sad irony is that, if the junta had not stolen the election, it would have been MDC-A which is led by Nelson Chamisa, that would have been trying to lead Zimbabwe through this COVID-19 world wide Pandemic.<br />
<br />
Saddly, sometimes history repeats itsself. What is not normal though, is the public condemnation, the the third President of Zimbabwe is currently facing, from the people who he likely claims, "Love him," whilst him and his Government can not even feed the people. Then when the people decide to protest, as the old lady says, "They get killed."<br />
<br />
31 July 2020 needs to happen.<br />
<br />
The next ZHRO, Wednesday Vigil, peacefull, planned, protest will be announced on ZHRO official platforms. ZHRO encourages all its members to continue to keep in touch through social media. Thus far ZHRO members will be joining the 31 July 2020, peacfull, planned, demonstartion, in solidarity with the people of Zimbabwe, who are suffering under the tyranical, regimne of Emmerson Mnangagwa and his ZANU PF, Proxies. More details will be announced soon. Please keep readig the ZHRO official platforms for more up to date information. <br />

In this article, I want to urge people to make this demo very personal for themselves. The world will be watching, be a part of history. I am urging people to speak from the heart through various media at their disposal, be it posters or placards in the streets, or tweets, Facebook posts, text messages, WhatsApp messages, audio recordings, and much else. Let's make the world feel our cries and despair. <br />
<br />
Between now and the 31st of July, I urge everyone who is taking part to take a moment and decide on the message they want to convey to the world with regards to the atrocities Zanu has been carrying out in our once lovely country. The message has to be personal for it to be impactful. Say what’s in your heart. See how Zanu has failed you, see how they have cut off your potential. You had dreams when you were young to be 'somebody' when you grow up. By now you thought you would have a house of your own, a decent job or a business of your own, but now you can’t even have a decent meal, no water; electricity is touch and go and a headache can kill you because the health system has been so run down by Zanu theft and incompetence.<br />

Look around you, see the damage Zanu has done to your loved ones. Your uncle who died from malaria because he could not afford to pay for the prescription, your aunt who died from diabetes because the family could not afford to pay for the insulin; your grandfather who had to be ferried to a local clinic at night by wheelbarrow only to find it closed because there is no money to run it – it’s been stolen by Zanu. Look at the mothers with their hungry babies lying on street pavements 12 hours in the cold only to sell a handful of tomatoes.<br />
<br />

Look at the people fleeing Zimbabwe into South Africa, including mothers with babies on their back trying to sneak under razor wire. Many of these people will never see their relatives again, many will miss funerals of loved ones, some may even be unfortunate enough to be subjected to another wave of xenophobic machete attacks in South Africa. This is what Zanu has done to us.<br />
<br />
Have this deep think, and then design your makeshift placard. Tell the world what you think about Zanu, Mnangagwa, Chiwenga and all the cruel people in this government. Tell the world what these people have done to you, to your family, to the neighbourhood you grew up in, and to your country. Tell the world you want all of them gone, all of them, from the president to wastes of space like that Matemadanda man who continues to embarrass us all whenever he opens his mouth.<br />

On the 16th of October 2019, the Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation (ZHRO) met and held a Vigil at the Zimbabwe Embassy, which is at 429 the Strand London, in the UK. A Rallying call was made by ZHRO and other Human Rights Activists and Organisations to protest the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU PF) march that was going to be in Zimbabwe and was planned by ZANU PF.<br />
<br />
The rest is actual history and ZANU PF will likely want to forget this day, as it was probably the first time the nation spoke in unison by boycotting the event spearheaded by one Nick Mangwana, the Perpetual Liar in Chief.<br />
<br />
The return of ZHRO is undoubtable, because the fight for Human Rights in Zimbabwe continues.<br />
<br />
The release of Young Politician of the Year Nominee, Honorable MP Joanna Mamombe, along with Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova (MDC 3) who are young, courageous, distinguished Zimbabwean young Women who lead the progressive youth of Zimbabwe, is greatly welcomed by ZHRO.<br />
<br />
Their protracted detention has been lamented by all at ZHRO, who in ordinary times would have been likely caused the closure of the Zimbabwe Embassy in London by Protesting their cruel degrading and inhuman treatment coupled with their now continued degradation of rights.<br />
<br />
Given that they (The MDC 3) have been banned from using social media as part of their bail conditions. ZHRO kindly requests that someone advises them verbally that, ZHRO Leadership, ZHRO members, especially along with Molly Ngavaimbe and Sibongile Bvungidzire who are alleged to have caused the closure of the Zimbabwe Embassy on the 18th of September 2019, wish they could have done the same again, by having another peaceful, planned, protest, outside the Zimbabwe Embassy, at an earlier date.<br />

<br />
<br />
It is very unfortunate but not surprising that, the ZANU PF, E. D. Mnangagwa led, Junta regime in Zimbabwe, is actually using COVID-19 as an excuse to literally burn, by throwing onto hot coals, the Human Rights of Zimbabwean Citizens, which are protected by the United Nations Convention on Human Rights and the Zimbabwean Constitution. This includes the degradation of rights of a Female MP who has been shortlisted ahead of Hundreds of Thousands of other young Members of Parliament, as a nominee for the Young Politician of the year Award.<br />
<br />
ZHRO is going to return. When we do, will be just as active and quick to respond as we were before COVID-19.<br />

<div dir="ltr">
A video surfaced on the 5th of June 2020 on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/iamtsunga?lang=bg">@Takundatsunga </a>that shows Movement for Democratic Change Alliance (MDC-A) Alliance Youth Deputy Spokesperson, Womberai Nhende, lying on the floor at Harare central Police Station after allegedly being severely beaten up by Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP).</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://zhro.zimvigil.org/2020/06/MDC-youth-beaten-by-police-on-police-floor-as-ZANU-PF-Chinamasa-says-Black-lives-Matter.html" target="_blank"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxUTenp3R0Nkjwb9GIqhRQHIGdisp3NVV8SSwhEGnY-Ck82CUmnZ4y6W7vBPcAWHSVhsCmxapwGHlRmNHo5Cw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This video was shot after the MDC-A Headquarters was taken over with alleged help from the Army and Police by MDC-T which belongs to Thokozani Khupe.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This evidence of wilful neglect of a very young man suffering after, “police brutality in Zimbabwe” (Which is common), is in stark contrast to the alleged ideals that Patrick Chinamasa was trying to portray when he was addressing media on Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) on the 4th of June 2020 just a day earlier, as he and ZANU PF were trying to show that they meant to believe in Black Lives Matter.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
We at Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation say, "<b>Black Lives Matter Everywhere, Especially in Zimbabwe."</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
We are calling for a, Massive Peaceful Planned Mass Protest #MPPMP, to among other things show that by ZANU PF and its proxies not respecting black lives in Zimbabwe, it is affecting Zimbabweans in Zimbabwe and the treatment blacks receive in other parts of the world. This is likely because of the likely perception that, if our country does not care for black lives, so why should other governments and their citizens.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Reports are that Womberai Nhende has been taken to hospital; however there has still not been any official report into his condition.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Why MDC Members who are of such junior rank and file, continue to be persecuted in such vast numbers by ZANU PF and its proxies is baffling. These are young men and women, who have likely joined the MDC as a result of the corrupt mismanagement of Zimbabwe by ZANU PF. They have come out and voiced their fundamental rights to a brighter future and are being persecuted for it. They are also likely to have little or no effect in any real big decisions within the MDC and do not threaten anyone in ZANU PF at election time.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Some are probably just young youths with nothing to do, live in or near the city and are looking for a space to be safe from the outside cruel world, so decide to join a political party; only to then be brutally beaten up to the point of hospitalisation and the cycle continues.</div>

<br />
The footage of the brutal, personal, slow and painful murder of Floyd George by<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Make White Great Again," </b></span><br />
<br />
cap wearing former policeman, Derek Chauvin, whilst 3 of his colleagues looked on nonchalantly, seems to have gone global.<br />
<br />
There have been protests in over 30 cities in the United States of America alone. There have also been solidarity protests in <b><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-52868465" target="_blank">London</a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.itv.com/news/wales/2020-05-31/hundreds-protest-against-george-floyd-s-death-and-black-lives-matter-movement-in-cardiff/" target="_blank">Cardiff</a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.dw.com/en/anti-racism-protests-spread-to-berlin-and-london/a-53643710" target="_blank">Berlin</a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.wantedinmilan.com/news/italy-reacts-to-death-of-george-floyd.html" target="_blank">Milan</a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/18486783.george-floyd-black-lives-matter-protest-planned-glasgow/" target="_blank">Glasgow</a></b>, <b>Bristol</b>, <b><a href="https://www.thelocal.dk/20200531/over-1000-protest-in-denmark-over-the-death-of-black-american-george-floyd" target="_blank">Denmark </a></b>and <b><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/07/14/the-controversy-surrounding-black-lives-matter-in-canada/" target="_blank">Canada </a></b>just to name a few countries and cities, with likely more protests planned.<br />
<br />
Given the number of world wide protests, following the killing of Floyd George, <b>the right to Freedom of Expression as stated in the United Nations Charter</b>, signed and ratified by the counties above where the protests are taking place, seems to be standing tall in the context of the right to protest. Further, the Freedom of Expression of MDC Alliance Zimbabweans, according to the Zimbabwean Constitution, is being strangled to death.<br />
<br />
We at <b>Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation (ZHRO) </b>are extremely concerned that the <b>Freedom of Expression of Zimbabweans is being violently stifled by the Government of Emerson Mnangagwa</b>. <br />
<br />
Even though there are active lockdowns in many of the countries and cities mentioned above, which have a combined population of over 850 million in total. Compared to Zimbabwe, there has not been even one mention or accusation of an abduction or Torture of Activists by any of the states above.<br />
<br />
There has not even been a single member of parliament arrested or questioned by the police for protesting. There has not even been one person shot and wounded or killed during the protests. Yet in Zimbabwe, the Government, including the courts, make fun out of the persecuted by making them wear prison uniforms whilst they are recovering in Hospital. <b>In Zimbabwe </b>the government behaves as if <b>black lives do not matter</b>.<br />
<br />
When the treatment of those involved in the Global Mass Protest (against the killing of Floyd George) in the West is further compared to the treatment of the MDC 3 and others in Zimbabwe, who numbered less than 500 and were involved in a simple flash protest; the actions of Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU PF), their state proxies Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) and the so called Third Force in Zimbabwe, it makes the ZANU PF look utterly useless at being democratic and at following the <b>Conventions and Covenants </b>they signed at the United Nations.<br />
<br />
This assertion (of <b>ZANU PF not keeping to their Covenants</b>) is given even more credence, by the fact that Zimbabwe has less than 18 million people, compared to the combined population of the aforementioned countries. The sheer and utter uselessness of ZANU PF is laid bare.<br />
<br />
Further, the reluctance of ZANU PF and their proxies to investigate the abduction, torture, rape and sexual assault of the MDC 3 speaks volumes. Especially when one of those treated in such a degrading, painful, inciting and insulting way is an actual sitting Member of Zimbabwe Parliament (MP).<br />
<br />
Therefore the treatment of the activists and especially the MP, may be deemed as an actual act of terrorism by the same state forces and this actually threatens integrity of Zimbabwe as a country.<br />
<br />
Which actually brings the whole debacle, solved or unsolved, to one conclusion. There is a real and actual constitutional crisis in Zimbabwe, and it needs the people to solve it.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">"At the end of the day, the country, does belong to the people and not the government."</span></b></blockquote>
As such, the promises made by the MDC Alliance youth leaders, to protest, in response to the actions of ZANU PF, its information ministry, its ZRP and its third force are clear and understandable. The reasons why the MDC Youth have made the promises to protest are noble.<br />
<br />
For now, ZHRO can only wish you (MDC Alliance Youth) well and encourage you to be bold, be brave and exercise your God given rights. ZHRO will soon join you, by returning to have a weekly peaceful Vigil protest every Wednesday, at 11am, outside the Zimbabwe Embassy, at 429, The Strand, London. Uniting to have a Peaceful, Massive, Mass Protest is arguably the only option left. This will hopefully show ZANU PF, ZRP and their third force that yes, <b>Black lives should matter, especially in Zimbabwe</b>.<br />
<br />
Shooting unarmed civilians does not make you a good and strong leader, it weakens you. Tormenting the citizens does not make them fear you, it makes them hate you.<br />

<div>
Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation (ZHRO) members' worst fears have unfortunately been confirmed. The disturbing pattern that has emerged, of the Zimbabwe Government having a real and actual thirst and propensity to firstly, actively try to hide the rape of young Women and a sitting Member of Parliament (MP), by State Actors and Secondly allowing rape to be used as political weapon with impunity.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The most chilling and disturbing high profile case thus far, is that of the arrest, abduction, rape, torture, sodomisation, degrading, inhuman treatment and belittling of a Sitting member of the Zimbabwean Parliament. Duly elected, Law Maker and MP Joanna Mamombe, who is also the youngest MP in Zimbabwe along with two other female, Youth Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), members, <span style="background: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Cecilia Chimbiri MDC, Youth Vice
Chairperson and Netsai Marova</span> MDC, Deputy Organising Secretary, who were abducted, raped and tortured by ZANU PF State Proxies. The Zimbabwe Regime seems to be displaying more and more hubris in their acts or torture, rape and sodomy of Political rivals and citizens.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU PF), which is led by Emmerson Mnangagwa who is the current President of Zimbabwe, has previously publicly berated women who have been raped and even those who had been killed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The previous most notable times this occurred at wholesale nationwide levels are in August of 2018 and during January and February of 2019. This time in May of 2020, they (ZANU PF) have gone even further, by trying to also use reverse search engine optimisation to try and hide previously published online news, republish the similar news with different false titles and by deleting tweets and messages sent out by ZANU PF State officials to make it difficult for evidence to be found, especially considering that in September, there is the UN general Assembly, roughly 90 days from today.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Using Rape as a political weapon against a specific group of people does not just affect the people who would have been raped. It also affects those who are within the community and the family of those who would have been raped. In the case of MP Joanna Mamombe, this will without doubt affect her Constituents and her political party too. Hence why especially now, it has to be a crime against humanity to use rape as a Political weapon. In the case of the MDC youth members, this will likely do one of two things, the others will either cower to the regime, or this could be a catalyst for the fermenting anger against the regimes brutality. Only time will tell. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The irony of this situation above is that, ZANU PF went to War against the Ian Smith Regime for doing such things, yet they expect different results from MDC and its membership, who thus far to their credit, they have been as their name suggests, "A Movement for Democratic Change."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The sad fact is that ZANU PF has done this numerous times before. Articles have been written about by this and one of the famous cases, is that of Jestina Mokoko, who is extremely well known by Zimbabweans.</div>

It's sad that ZHRO wrote about the plight of the young ladies going missing on the 14th of May 2020, obviously not knowing what will happen next, but hoping for the best. Unfortunately ZANU PF did what they do best, Rape, Torture, Sodomise and kill. </div>
<div>

It is also sad that below, is just a little bit of evidence to show, ZANU PF's propensity to use rape as a political weapon has been documented in;</div>

<div>
In conclusion, Sadly, in Zimbabwe, the rapes, abductions torture and executions happen with the complicity of a Government that jails people for trying to remove, as they put it,<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"a constitutionally elected government; yet, that same government and its state actors deny citizens and now Law makers their rights under the same constitution." </blockquote>
Further, some of those who enable, shield, legitimise and support ZANU PF are in the rich global North and first world West. Given that fact and on balance, that the minimal evidence supplied above, shows that ZANU PF is well known for raping Zimbabwean Women and Children. Coupled with the fact that, some of the same ZANU PF people, also actively taunt the MDC members and supporters on social media on a daily basis. One has to ask the question, "Is ZANU PF using Rape as a Political Weapon Condoned in the West, thereby meaning that the human rights of Zimbabwean Women is less than that of Women in the rich global North in the first world West?</div>

Despite the fact that they are in defiance of the law, this does not justify the cruel, degrading and inhuman punishment that they are receiving at the hands of the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) who are known ZANU PF proxies that seem to enjoy violence.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
In the video one can actually be heard saying, "Street Kids," thus likely meaning the street kids don't have a place to call home and they also don't not have a place that they can beg.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Freedom from torture is a fundamental human right, accommodation, food and security are also fundamental human rights. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Unfortunately the ZANU PF led ZIMBABWE Junta Government is not honouring a number of it's Basic Human Rights Covenents even in this difficult time of the World COVID-19 pandemic.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Instead, the Government through the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) and the Ministry of Finance of Zimbabwe, took away the savings and donations that Charities had built up in $USD for them to be able to look after the most vulnerable in society. They have not offered any tangible safety net in principle and in practice.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
There is also clear evidence of them destroying food which instead could have been used to feed the same hungry street kids. Unfortunately, the ZANU PF proxies and ZANU PF, seem to know nothing else and seem to have no known end to their evilness.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
For the sake of the people of Zimbabwe, especially some of the over 10 million who are in abject poverty and are being assisted by the World Food Program (WFP), we are all as ZHRO united in calling for the immediate cessation of such acts hence forth by the ZRP. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
We are also calling on the Junta to feed the people and make payments as other Governments have done in the rest of the world.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Lastly we are also expecting healthcare for the poor to be the same as that for the elites. Failure to do all the above will result in a campaign aimed at the freezing of assets of all those who are linked to the ZANU PF Junta Regime especially their bank accounts and tangible assets. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The proceeds may then be used to feed and heal the people of Zimbabwe, especially during these most trying of times.</div>

Wednesday 11th of March 2020. They met for another pre-planned weekly Vigil demonstration outside the Embassy of Zimbabwe, at 429 the Strand London England.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The ZHRO members this week, where especially demonstrating against the lack of human rights in Zimbabwe, highlighted by the disappearance and highly suspected State abduction of Itai Dzamara, 5 years ago in March of 2015. The public secret is that <br />

he was abducted at the behest of the Executive branch. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The disappearance of Itai Dzamara is made even more concerning by the fact that Zimbabwe has not signed the covenants against abductions, forced or enforced disappearances and summary executions. Thus, the likelihood of his captures' being brought to book, in the current Zimbabwean political climate is slim to none.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This year it all started this week with a tweet by the prominent and brave Woman, MDC Executive member and Ardent Human Rights Lawyer, Fadzai Mahere on the 9th of March 2020. She directed her tweet at Emerson Mnangagwa. She asked where he (Itai Dzamara) was.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<a href="https://bulawayo24.com/index-id-news-sc-national-byo-180624.html">https://bulawayo24.com/index-id-news-sc-national-byo-180624.html</a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
At first it seemed as if the well spoken and well poised Jurists' tweet was going to be well heeded by the Executive Branch as it was aptly ended with a non threatening Emoji. The response she got from ZANU PF's male dominated, Testosterone filled Information Department was uncouthness personified.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
On the same day, The EU representative to Zimbabwe tweeted, asking about Itai Dzamara. This tweet and other events, seemed to only add fuel to the fire. As you will no doubt see below, ZANU PF's command Journalism, on the 10th of March 2020 seems to have landed them in even more trouble than they bargained for on the 11th and 12th of March 2020.</div>
<div dir="ltr">

<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
On the same day, the most poignant act of the week was the letter to Mnangagwa by the wife of, Itai Dzamara, Mrs Shefra Dzamara. Mrs Dzamara said among other things, </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"the matter cannot go unaccounted for just like that."</b></span></blockquote>
<div dir="ltr">
She humbly implored Mnangagwa to intervene and this was well published given the sensitivity of the issues involved and the fact that as she said, "Itai has children who are growing older every day, without their Father."</div>
<div dir="ltr">

<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
On the same day, a letter to the Editor was received by Zimeye where it was reported that Lovemore Maiko, a senior MDC member, Chitungwiza Mayor, MDC Harare Province Youth Secretary for Policy and Research and Wendy Makaza Harare Province Youth Secretary for Projects were arrested after a meeting with Nelson Chamisa the leader of the opposition at Morgan Tsvangirai house.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This is clear evidence of the continued breach of freedom of Expression and persecution of opposition supporters members by the Junta regime.</div>

10 March 2020</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Early, on the day before the Vigil, ZANU PF brought a response to Mahere and the EU representative to Zimbabwe, asking about Dzamara, using the Zimbabwe Herald, which is the State owned tissue paper ( News Paper). As reported above the response was tert and uncouth. It was a barrage of offensive Vitriol, that seemed to come from a Woman, in the Women's month, towards especially the EU and USA's representatives in Zimbabwe.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
One region partly headed by Women and with the most female Heads of State per capita anywhere in the world. The Later, a Country that is the Home of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly and the Nation that does so much for Zimbabwe and Zimbabweans in so many ways to mention in this short blog. Talk about being spoilt, ungrateful, entitled and rude to your guests. Anyway what more would one expect from ZANU PF trolls?</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Why this apparent Madam, Lady, Woman of ZANU PF decided to insult the Representative to the USA, this time before he had got involved, has to be questioned. It likely led to a response from his home.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The response on the 11th of March 2020 on the day of the Vigil, from Uncle Sam was in the form of Fresh, Brand Spanking New Sanctions for two individuals from the ZANU PF Junta Regime. You see, what happens when you bully the mighty USA? </div>
<div dir="ltr">
The heading on the Government Website was, </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Treasury Sanctions Two Individuals for Human Rights Abuse in Zimbabwe"</b></span></blockquote>
<div dir="ltr">
The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) today designated Anselem Sanyatwe (Sanyatwe) and Owen Ncube (Ncube) for their involvement in human rights abuses including directing an attack on peaceful demonstrators and political opponents in Zimbabwe. "</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
As if the above was not enough for the Junta Regime who were spitting teeth on social media, two prominent USA Senators, Jim Risch (R-Idaho), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Chris Coons (D-Del.), went even further and made it as clear as day, that POTUS in their view, must add more names to the Sanctions list. In my humble view as the writer of this blog, I say, quite rightly so.</div>

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
On the day after the Vigil, 11 March 2020 the Junta Mnangagwa govt said they were going to punish fake news peddlers? Amongst other things, they wrote, </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Government intends to expedite the passing of laws that deal with people who peddle false news on social media in light of the increase in fake posts concerning the country by some unruly elements, information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Permanent Secretary Mr Nick Mangwana has said."</b></span></blockquote>
<div dir="ltr">
This, when one looks closer at the modus operandi of ZANU PF and its proxies, this likely means the new law could be used to deal with those that don't believe or Subscribe to the Junta Regime and ZANU PF's ideological Mugabeism way of thinking.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Thus with the above, the continued breaches in people's freedom of Expression will not only continue, it will be highly likely thrive and be exacerbated by this time next year as Zimbabwe moves closer to 2023 and the ZANU PF Junta, breaks its evil claws whilst clinging to power.</div>
<div dir="ltr">

<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Unfortunately, the week ended with the unfortunate fact that on Friday the 13th of March 2020, 12 MDC activists were denied bail. This is despite the fact that even the Government's own newspaper reported that the police did not see them doing anything wrong. This shows clearly that the Justice System in Zimbabwe has been captured. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Implicitly and Explicitly, the systematic unjustified incarceration of MDC members, activists and Members of Zimbabwe Parliament shows that, ZANU PF and its proxies, likely do not want other people to exist, for as long as they are in opposition to ZANU PF, especially if they are in Zimbabwe. So, sanctions on them (ZANU PF) is just a start.</div>
