ZIMBABWE: Run up to the March 29 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections - A Highly Repressive Environment for Human Rights Defenders
Send
The situation of human rights defenders in Zimbabwe is indicative of the general human rights situation in the
country. Death threats, disappearances, fears of arrest and torture of human rights defenders are alarmingly
common. All the human rights defenders interviewed by the mission held the view that the operating environment
of defenders and NGOs in Zimbabwe was very harsh and dangerous. Human rights defenders have been linked to
the opposition party MDC and termed “agents” of the West by Government. Moreover, the Government has
continued to remain adamant and largely non-responsive on policy and practice issues raised by NGOs and their
umbrella bodies all over Zimbabwe.
