Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Human Rights First.The short explanation of this alert was:
Eyewitnesses report that early in the morning on Wednesday, December 3, approximately 15 unidentified armed men in plainclothes surrounded Mukoko's home. Four of them broke into the house and took Mukoko, driving away in a vehicle without license plates. Mukoko is the director of the Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP), a local human rights organization that monitors and documents human rights violations. In a recent report, ZPP documented continued incidents of murder, rape, and kidnappings, despite a September 15 power-showering agreement that was supposed to encourage peace and stability. Zimbabwean human rights lawyers were reportedly unable to locate Mukoko in any of the usual detention centers and on Thursday requested a court order for the authorities to produce the activist. Mukoko is in danger of torture and ill-treatment. Take action now to urge the Zimbabwean authorities to disclose the whereabouts of Jestina Mukoko, guarantee her well-being, and ensure her immediate release, as well as all others unjustly imprisoned. For more information on conditions in Zimbabwe, see this recent report by Mukoko's organization, the Zimbabwe Peace Project. If you would like to view details on this alert, please visit here. |
