EDITOR, The Tribune.

It is tearful that in Zimbabwe there is one set of laws and law enforcement agents for those who actively oppose the ZANUPF regime and corruption; and another set of laws and law agents for those who don’t. In essence the rule of law is an alien concept in Zimbabwe. Government of Zimbabwe violates the rights to shelter, food, freedom of movement and residence, freedom of assembly and the protection of the law.

Government agents of Zimbabwe continued to perpetrate physical and psychological torture. The constitution and law prohibit arbitrary arrest and detention, although other sections of the law effectively weaken these prohibitions. The government enforced security laws in conflict with the constitution. Security forces arbitrarily arrested and detained persons, particularly political and civil society activists and journalists perceived as opposing the government. The government continued to arrest, detain, and harass critics, and journalists practised self-censorship.

It is also painful and offensive that in Zimbabwe you die for the truth, end up in prison, tormented, or disappear forever. Poor leadership corruption remains perhaps the biggest problems facing Zimbabwe today....I am now pleading for the organisation to make a plan about the failure of Zimbabwean President Emerson Mnangagwa.
