MISA-Zimbabwe complains to the ACHPR over delays in Capital Radio case

Meanwhile the ACHPR has come up with a decision on another matter filed by MISA-Zimbabwe, the Independent Journalists Association of Zimbabwe (IJAZ) and the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR).  The decision can however only be publicised once it has been adopted by the African Union Heads of State Summit.   
In this matter, the applicants had requested the Commission to make a finding that various provisions of the repressive Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA) are inconsistent with Article 9 of the African Charter.
And in yet another matter, Dzimbabwe Chimbga of ZLHR has complained to the Commission over the failure by the Zimbabwean government to comply with provisional measures issued by the Commission to the effect that the government should hand back to the owners of Associated Newspapers of Zimbabwe (ANZ) publishers of the banned Daily News and Daily News on Sunday, the equipment the police confiscated when they closed the Daily News in 2003.
