Statement
by Minister for Foreign Affairs, Laila Freivalds concerning the election
in Zimbabwe
Embassy of Sweden in Harare
April 02, 2005
"I note the step that has been taken in the
right direction now that Parliamentary elections have been held in Zimbabwe,"
says Minister of Foreign Affairs Laila Freivalds.
"At the same time, I regret the obstacles
that the government has placed in the way of a free and democratic election
process. There is, for example, reason to be concerned about the electoral
fraud that the opposition says has taken place.
"I will call on the Government of Zimbabwe
to ensure that respect for human rights is re-established in the country
as soon as possible. This is imperative if the country is to regain its
international reputation. Sweden will continue to follow developments
in this area closely", says Laila Freivalds.
