Act on abuses

Human Rights Watch has called on the Southern African Development Community to press for an immediate improvement of human rights conditions in Zimbabwe. This follows the arrest of 46 activists some of whom were tortured and denied medical attention.  “SADC leaders should recognise that the increased violence in Zimbabwe in recent months is likely to worsen prior to elections unless they act quickly and forcefully to push for an end to abuses,” the organisation said.
