State terrorists, not human rights activists, should face trial in Zim

INSTEAD of fulfilling its obligation to prosecute the known perpetrators of the crimes against Tawanda Muchehiwa and other human rights activists, the State seems to be shielding the perpetrators and putting the victims on trial.

On July 30, 2020, Tawanda Muchehiwa, a Zimbabwean human rights activist, was abducted from a hardware shop in Bulawayo.

CCTV footage shows men removing Muchehiwa from the car he was in and stuffing him in a white Isuzu truck that sped off.
