Opposition MDC led by advocate Nelson Chamisa has dispatched its deputy organising secretary, Happymore Chidziva, to New York to organise protests ahead of the United Nations General Assembly.
Protests which are said to be over the deteriorating democratic space and bad governance in the country are meant to humiliate President Emmerson Mnangagwa who is also attending the meeting.
Speaking to the Daily News earlier this year, Chidziva said:
We are here (in New York) for the mass actions.
We will not rest till the people of Zimbabwe get the freedom they deserve…
The protests come after a spree of alleged abductions of government critics, human rights defenders and members of the opposition MDC.
Observers say that the government was behind the alleged abductions.
Meanwhile, President Mnangagwa together with fellow SADC presidents is expected to call for the removal of sanctions at the same event.
