United Nations Special Rapporteur Clement Voule becomes the first independent human rights expert to visit Zimbabwe as he embarks on a 10-day visit this week to assess the human rights situation.
The UN official visits the country when there has been an upsurge in cases of abductions of human rights defenders and union leaders by unidentified gunmen in different parts of the country but mainly in Harare. Said Voule:
I am here at the invitation of the government of Zimbabwe regarding my mandate to assess the implementation and protection of freedom of association and peaceful assembly in the country.
Doctors and nurses are currently holding protests following the disappearance of Peter Gabriel Magombeyi, acting president of the Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association (ZHDA), a union that represents health workers.
Doctors have vowed to continue protesting until Dr Magombeyi is returned. ZHDA acting secretary-general, Tawanda Zvakada said:
