Zimbabwe Vigil Diary – 13th May 2006

e Vigil. This is the fourth year we have been privileged to share our space with them. They were happy to pose for a group photo with us and many of them signed our petitions and expressed sympathy for our cause.
We are always humbled by the trouble people take to come and join us. Nomuhle with her toddler came all the way from Liverpool and Tafara from Manchester. Hats off to Dumi who still pitched up despite a train delay which meant it took him four and a half hours to come to London from Southampton.
This month is the anniversary of the beginning of Murambatsvina. Next Saturday, May 20, the Vigil will hold a demonstration in sympathy with the Churches in Bulawayo, who are having a peaceful procession on that day, and other events in Zimbabwe to mark this tragic anniversary. Please make every effort to join us as it’s important to have a big presence to remind the British public of the appalling human rights record of Zimbabwe.
