Amnesty reaction to unlawful detention of Zim lawyer
Amnesty International
March 18, 2013
In reaction
to the continued detention
of prominent human rights lawyer, Beatrice Mtetwa, in Zimbabwe,
Amnesty International's southern Africa director Noel Kututwa said:
"Amnesty
International is disturbed by the continued detention of Beatrice
Mtetwa at Rhodesville Police Station in spite of a court order for
her release."
"The Zimbabwean
police must, without further delay, comply with the court order
and unconditionally grant Ms Mtetwa her freedom."
"The arbitrary
arrest and unlawful detention of Ms Mtetwa, against the back drop
of a constitution
making process, is a stark reminder of the work yet to be done
to ensure Zimbabwe's security forces respect and protect human rights."
