The Red Carpet of Blood
As the SADC summit approaches and Emmerson Mnangagwa rolls out the Red Carpet of Blood and terror, it is important for Africans to be aware that there are over 100 Zimbabwean political prisoners held in connection with this summit, starting from June 16, by Zimbabwean dictator Emmerson Mnangagwa.
One of these prisoners has been so severely tortured that doctors fear he may suffer permanent kidney damage, but Mnangagwa has refused to allow him medical treatment.
Another pro-democracy prisoner, a mother, is in jail with her one-year-old child, highlighting the cruelty of the Zimbabwean tyrant.
Namatai Kwekweza, another prisoner, was abducted from a plane, held incommunicado for over eight hours, and jailed without bail.
She is accused of a crime supposedly committed on June 27, despite evidence showing she was in South Africa at that time.
There is no rule of law in Zimbabwe.
The judiciary is led by Chief Justice Luke Malaba, who was appointed unconstitutionally by the tyrant.
The unconstitutional appointment of Malaba is a grave concern and a clear indicator of the erosion of the rule of law in Zimbabwe.
This appointment, made by Mnangagwa in defiance of constitutional guidelines, further undermines the independence of the judiciary and threatens the rights of Zimbabwean citizens.
Malaba's appointment was intended to facilitate the prosecution and persecution of pro-democracy activists by the tyrant using the corrupted court system.
SADC leaders are entering a situation marked by these egregious human rights violations, carried out by the dictator in their name.
