Ahead Of Regional Summit Rights Groups Urge Action To End Harassment And Arrests

Southern African Leaders Should Condemn Crackdown in Zimbabwe

Ahead of regional summit, rights groups urge action to end harassment and arrests

Ahead of a key regional summit, human rights groups are urging Southern African leaders to condemn a crackdown on opposition and civil society members in Zimbabwe.

Pattern of Arrests and Harassment

In recent weeks, Zimbabwean authorities have arrested and detained numerous opposition activists and civil society leaders. These actions have raised concerns about the country's commitment to democracy and human rights.

SADC Summit an Opportunity for Intervention

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) summit, scheduled for August, is an opportunity for regional leaders to address the situation in Zimbabwe. Rights groups are calling on SADC to use its influence to pressure Zimbabwean authorities to end the crackdown and respect human rights.

Mnangagwa's Chairmanship

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa is set to take over as chair of SADC at the summit. Rights groups believe that this gives him a unique opportunity to demonstrate his commitment to regional peace and stability by addressing the human rights crisis in his own country.
