Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR)
January 12, 2009

Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) has noted the contents of the speech delivered by the Judge President of the High Court, Honourable Mrs. Justice Rita Makarau, at the official opening of the 2009 Legal Year at the High Court in Harare on 12 January 2009.

In her speech, the Honourable Judge President raised some serious allegations against unnamed members of the legal profession in Zimbabwe.

As a membership-based organization of human rights lawyers in Zimbabwe, ZLHR wishes to make an effort to understand her concerns and work together with her to address them in a productive manner. ZLHR will therefore shortly be engaging with Mrs. Justice Makarau in this regard. Further developments will be advised as and when they arise.
