Prosecutors Drop Charges Of Public Violence Against 33 War Veterans

Prosecutors from the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) on Monday, November 2, dropped criminal charges against 33 veterans of Zimbabwe’s liberation struggle.

The ex-combatants had been facing prosecution for over three years after their arrest on charges of promoting public violence.

The war veterans were detained for allegedly singing “Chimurenga” songs during a protest in Harare, where they sought to submit a petition to Parliament and the Munhumutapa Building, which houses President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s offices. The petition outlined their grievances.

The veterans were charged with participating in a gathering with the intent to promote public violence, breaches of peace, or bigotry, as defined in Section 37(1)(a) of the Criminal Code.

The charges were withdrawn after the High Court upheld the war veterans’ application for a review, ruling that the charges against them were defective.

The ex-combatants were represented by Kelvin Kabaya, Paida Saurombe, and Tinashe Chinopfukutwa of the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR).

This regime does not want people who know their rights and claim them. They want people to suffer in silence. Unfortunately not in this era and age people will try and find a way to speak aloud. Prosecution has become their weapon for silencing the suffering masses but everything has its own time, all this nonsense is going to end. The persecutor will be the persecuted. THE ARRESTOR WILL BE ARRESTED!!!

Thanks to the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights who always stand in for the poor and disadvantaged without looking at the political leaning of those they are defending. Every citizen has rights worth defending!
