The Zimbabwe Human Rights Association
unconditionally and unreservedly condemns the shameful brutality
suffered by the members and leadership of the Zimbabwe
Congress of Trade Unions at the hands of the state’s law enforcement
agents on 13 September 2006.
Freedom of expression and association
are God-given entitlements that no state should ever attempt to
curtail in a true democracy, either through brutal or other means.
Article 8 of the International Covenant
on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, to which Zimbabwe is a
signatory, provides that State Parties shall undertake to ensure
the right to strike.
It is hoped, and indeed expected, that
the perpetrators of this shameful act, and their principals, will
be brought to book. Justice must not only be done, but must be seen
to be done.
