Day 2 #21daysofactivism we focus on media and freedom of expression. It is rather unfortunate that Zanu pf has captured the judicial system and constitutional rights are violated by custodians of the law.
Pastor Patrick Mugadza was denied bail for freely expressing himself. The courts cited that if released he would go and commit a similar offence (freedom of expression).
Pastor Evan Mawarire is in police custody after being arrested yesterday evening at Harare International Airport and charges preferred against him are a result of Freedom of expression.
Itayi Dzamara was abducted and still missing because he freely expressed himself.
Today we call upon the government to respect and observe fundamental human rights as Zimbabwe is a signatory to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and to observe section 61 of Zimbabwe’s constitution which allows freedom of expression.
We are demanding the immediate release of our Pastors Evan Mawarire and Patrick Mugadza who are being victimized for speaking out against the government.
