UN Independent Experts Demand Release of Kwekweza, Chere and Other Activists

Pindula posts below a press release received from United Nations Human Rights Special Procedures. In the release UN independent experts demand the release of activists arrested by the Zimbabwean government ahead of the SADC Summit that started yesterday.

The independent experts are Special Rapporteurs, part of what is known as the Special Procedures of the United Nations Human Rights Council. Special Procedures, the largest body of independent experts in the UN Human Rights system, is UN’s independent fact-finding and monitoring around the world.

Says the release:

GENEVA (15 August 2024) – The Zimbabwean authorities must immediately release human rights defenders who have been arbitrarily detained for over two weeks and drop charges against them, independent human rights experts* said today.
Woman human rights defender Namatai Kwekweza, teacher and labour rights defender Robson Chere, the Secretary-General of Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ), along with local councilor for Harare Ward 5, Samuel Gwenzi, were forcibly removed from a departing flight at Harare Airport on 31 July 2024. Unidentified men escorted the three to a high security zone within the airport and held them incommunicado for eight hours. During this time, the three were reportedly subjected to enforced disappearance, torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, including waterboarding. Additionally, they were severely threatened against protesting in advance of or during the Southern African Development Community (SADC) summit scheduled for 17 to 19 August 2024 in Harare.

“The enforced disappearance, incommunicado detention and torture, followed by the arbitrary detention of these human rights defenders is inexcusable, and not only violates international human rights law but also makes a mockery of the safeguards contained in Zimbabwe’s own Constitution,” the experts said.
At around 9PM on 31 July 2024, the human rights defenders were handed over to the Zimbabwe Republic Police at Harare Central Police Station, when they were informed, for the first time, that they were facing charges of “disorderly conduct” under section 41 of the Criminal Law Codification and Reform Act. These charges relate to their alleged participation in a demonstration calling for the release of a detained opposition politician. Namatai Kwekweza was apparently not even in Zimbabwe at the time of the demonstration in question.
The experts said, “These baseless charges are being used as a fig-leaf to target human rights defenders and opposition voices for calling for greater democracy, human rights and accountability in Zimbabwe. At a time when Zimbabwe is preparing to host the SADC summit, whose values include institutions that are “democratic, legitimate, and effective”, it is unconscionable that these human rights defenders working to strengthen such institutions remain arbitrarily detained.”
The release of the human rights defenders on bail has been opposed by the prosecutor and a further bail hearing has been scheduled for tomorrow, 16 August 2024.
The experts have been in touch with the Government of Zimbabwe on the issue.

*Brigadier-General Elasto Madzingira Declared National Hero* Brigadier-General (Retired) Elasto Madzingira has been declared a national hero following his passing on August 8 at the age of 65. Minister Charles Tawengwa announced the declaration, citing Madzingira's contributions during the pre- and post-independence eras. Madzingira abandoned his university studies to join the liberation struggle in 1978, demonstrating remarkable political awareness and commitment. He received military training in Mozambique and later studied mechanical engineering in Yugoslavia. After completing his studies, Madzingira joined the Air Force of Zimbabwe, rising through the ranks to become Director of Finance before his medical retirement in 1992. Despite sustaining serious injuries that left him wheelchair-bound, Madzingira's dedication and service earned him the prestigious national hero status.

please think before you say something. if use of lethal injections was permitted you would not be here praising and encouraging those from the liberation war. most of them claim that they were arrested by the white regime and they are still alive today, some having improved on their education from jail. it is very disturbing when a black person would advocate for a lethal injections for political differences.

Depends with contract type if you resign by giving notice that is required by contract its ok usually three months notice. Then if you're fired cause of breaching contract or terms of service them you wont be paid anything but if you're illegally fired the company has to honor the contract term or pay you something for illegal termination

In the UK 🇬🇧 during those years of Covid there was no public school examinations, so kids were simple elevated to their next grades and forms and or even University levels, So the same with here in Zim problems be develling the country at the moment are aggravated by the Elnino induced drought where we saw total write off of farm produce, so I think this kind be a tolerance stage of government ineptitude, it was not in its own making but nature, and again we had Sanctions, it's blatantly a lie that they were scrambled cause no companies resurrected after they claimed they removed them, we see companies with eastern influence only prevailing, the Discosteel and many others that strive to stay ashore along the sanctions handicap, so what am I saying here, here this, the all above induced irregularities are main causative to this displeasure, that's not giving even a headway

Most of these so called activists are sadomasochists who have no regard for their own wellbeing but are rather slaves to their fetishs... Whenever they are not in prison garms they feel weak and defeated and so do everything in their power to get arrested... Kwekweza in particular is on the Job Sikhala highway to hell with her rebel without a cause shtick....The UN and their so called experts should just back off and let these sadomasochists enjoy the dopamine hits they get from this bizarre fetish... Kwekweza and co are enjoying their vacation and the best thing we can do as a peace loving nation is to leave them be .... Erudite out

Here on this earth · 6 months ago

As we live in our own territory with our own ways on how we live, we do all what is good for us. If there is someone to guide us or lead us, that is the beginning and ending of all good and bad done to us. From outside nobody can tell us what to do good/bad, spiritually physically verbally it's not considered as we say, we know, we have, we can, the final thing we get is death having nothing to write about. Leaving this land with no any significant sign that you were once there, only skulls bones shelved in graves. Looook Mzilikazi Chaka Lobengula Mtota Zvangendaba nothing was left behind only uprising of political unrest over all kingdoms. Ruining down this beautiful land into pits donga eroded pathways pothole in bushes and mountains. The owner of earth will refurbish it soon to a better status needed. We cannot achieve anything other than to destroy what is naturally found on earth. We don't observe ourselves as one, one in front looks after himself/herself only so we can't drive it 🔃🔄↔️. No organizations can heal us we need a bullet to ensure that WWE are gone off the land, WWE are useless here on earth. No solution to what we say problems, death is only the permanent solution. Don't think of anybody anyone, someone somebody just blame yourself 🕘🕘🕘
