THE Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) recorded 137 cases of human rights violations in the month of June 2024 alone.
The lobby group also revealed that at 65.4%, Zanu PF is far ahead of the ZRP (9.7%) which was identified as second on the list and traditional leaders are on 9.3%.
“ZPP recorded a total of 137 violations of human rights across the country including violations against freedom of assembly and association, harassment and intimidation, the right to equality and non-discrimination, unlawful detention, and the right to personal security, among others,” reads the monthly report.
The report comes out at a time when over 70 opposition activists are locked up in remand prison having been arrested for convening an ‘unsanctioned meeting’ at a private residence.
Manicaland Province recorded the highest number of violations among Zimbabwe’s ten provinces. 33 cases were recorded up from 19 in May.
Political hotbed Mashonaland Central and Midlands provinces are the other two with over 40% increases while the other seven, including Harare, have minimal change.
