ZimRights calls on citizens to rise up in defense

By Agencies

ZIMBABWEANS have a duty to restore and sustain a culture of human rights as the ruling Zanu PF government continues to deprive them of civil liberties and govern with an iron fist, the Zimbabwe Human Rights Association (ZimRights) has said.

The country’s human rights record continues to falter under the second republic with human rights watchdog Amnesty International currently lobbying the African Union (AU) to compel the Zimbabwean government to uphold human rights.

However, in a statement, ZimRights said citizens were the key to fostering a culture of human rights.

“At ZimRights, we have great confidence in the power of communities to lead in creating and sustaining a culture of human rights,” the organisation said in a statement on Sunday.
