Rights groups reveal that
Zimbabwean authorities have launched a widespread crackdown on political
dissent and rights activists ahead of the elections next year. A number of
rights activists, lawyers and journalists have been detained and the latest incident
concerned the arrest of 29 members from the Zimbabwe Election Support Network
(ZESN) while attending a meeting. Despite later releasing 27 of them, two were
charged with “organising an unlawful
gathering and failing to notify the police of a gathering in contravention of a
Section the Public Order and Security Act (POSA).”
