The law as a weapon

imbabwe are now
shorter-lived, and worse off in almost every respect than they were under a
pre-independent regime, but of course we have our ‘freedom’.

It is, however, an odd kind of freedom when the president of the country
defines the opposition an enemy, uses the language of war and, as his
statement above reveals, does not see the law as an informed impartial
neutral arm of justice but a weapon that will be used to defend his regime
to the bitter end.
