Another virtual Vigil today continues our protest against the human rights abuse and lack of democracy in Zimbabwe. Our virtual Vigil activists today were Diana Machingauta and Mashama Mazise who both kindly contributed to Vigil funds.

They carried placards showing their concern at the human rights abuses and lack of democracy in Zimbabwe. For photos, see: https://www.flickr.com/photos/zimbabwevigil/albums/72177720316534623.

The Restoration of Human Rights in Zimbabwe (ROHR) is the Vigil’s partner organisation based in Zimbabwe. ROHR grew out of the need for the Vigil to have an organisation on the ground in Zimbabwe which reflected the Vigil’s mission statement in a practical way.

ROHR in the UK actively fundraises through membership subscriptions, events, sales etc to support the activities of ROHR in Zimbabwe.

The Vigil’s book ‘Zimbabwe Emergency’ is based on our weekly diaries. It records how events in Zimbabwe have unfolded as seen by the diaspora in the UK.

It chronicles the economic disintegration, violence, growing oppression and political manoeuvring – and the tragic human cost involved. It is available at the Vigil.

All proceeds go to the Vigil and our sister organisation the Restoration of Human Rights in Zimbabwe’s work in Zimbabwe. The book is also available from Amazon.

Zimbabwe Vigil: "Chin’ono said it was an important milestone not only for himself but for Zimbabwe, which was struggling to move ahead because of unprecedented looting of public funds and abuse of the judiciary. If the proposed law against Zimbabweans criticising the government is passed, no doubt Chin’ono would face severe consequences for this remark."

It is clear to us that they are to protect their Aslams by always black mailing their country.

But UK and USA is not Zimbabwe 🇿🇼. Instead of taking rid of that peace of paper likThomas Mapfumomo did, come back home , take rid of your country, find land and be happy.
