EU warns ED govt over ‘repressive’ laws
Richard Muponde ·
European Union (EU) ambassador to Zimbabwe, Timo Olkkonen has warned President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government against crafting repressive legislation that undermine political liberties and freedom of speech.
Olkkonen said this on Saturday in his belated address in commemoration of the 2021 Media Institute of Southern Africa (Misa) Zimbabwe World Press Freedom Day held in Harare.
He said some of the proposed amendments to laws, including constitutional amendments, would erode the progress that the country had made so far in terms of guaranteeing freedoms to citizens.
