Zimbabwe Is Cracking Down On Dissent Ahead Of Elections, Says Amnesty International

Amnesty International has said Zimbabwe’s upcoming general election will take place in the context of five years of systematic, brutal crackdowns on human rights.

The run-up to the 2023 general elections has been characterised by restrictions on political opposition gatherings, the violent suppression of protests and the criminalization of state critics, according to Amnesty International.

Khanyo Farisè, Amnesty International’s Deputy Director for Southern Africa, said:

What we have seen in Zimbabwe over the past five years amounts to a brutal crackdown on human rights, especially the rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association.

Respect for socio-economic rights has also declined dramatically, leaving many people in abject poverty with no means to put food on the table.

The Zimbabwean authorities have revealed their brazen contempt for basic freedoms and shown that there is no space for dissent in the so-called ‘second republic’.

The police have also repeatedly resorted to excessive use of force to suppress human rights, including the right to peaceful assembly.

Farisè urged the Zimbabwean Government to respect, protect, promote and fulfill the human rights of everyone before, during and after the election. She said:

Over the past five years, the Zimbabwean authorities have demonstrated little or no respect for human rights and have repeatedly flouted the rule of law.

As political campaigning enters full swing, the authorities must ensure that people are able to freely exercise their rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly.

Authorities must respect, protect, promote and fulfil the human rights of everyone before, during and after the election.

All elections held in Zimbabwe since the year 2000 have been marred by allegations of intimidation and irregularities.

Iwe don't just parrot ZANU lies hook line and sinker. Noone wants to effect regime change in this blasted Teapot shaped piece of dust. All the world wants to see is fair play. period. Respect for human rights. Freedom of opposition to campaign freely without hindrance. 13 months of pre-trial detention for Job Sikhala is a travesty of Justice. Get that into your pea-sized brain.

Amnesty International is biased and one can see by the tone of their facts that they are to please those who are against the leadership of Zimbabwe. Go Hang Amnesty International together with your CCC puppets. Actually you want to promote lawlessness in the name of so called rights.
