As part of their bail conditions they are not allowed to address political or public gatherings. These charges and bail conditions are clear breaches of free speech and freedom to associate.
We urge people to protest at attempts to silence trade union leaders and the state sponsored violence and intimidation which has intensified since the first round of elections in March.
We are calling for:
• trade unionists to be free to organise and speak without being arrested and tortured
• an end to violence and intimidation
• real democracy for Zimbabwe.
• justice and rights for Zimbabwe and Zimbabweans
You can read more information about the demo on our website.
If you can’t be there please either forward this email onto your friends and colleagues, or download and pass around the demo flyer.
As well as the demonstration on 23 June in London, we are calling on supporters to contact the Minister of Justice in Zimbabwe, asking for the charges to be dropped. Download a copy of ACTSA’s appeal letter.
Your support is essential to help achieve democracy, rights and freedom for Zimbabwe.Â
