Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Zimbabwe, Freedom of Speech, Governance, Human Rights, Politics, Protest

Kubatana's post shows cruelty by the goverment of Zimbabwe [1], “Spare a thought for the families of Sekai Holland and Grace Kwinjeh whose injuries were severe enough to warrant them being medivac’d to South Africa on March 17. To prepare for the evacuation they got the necessary clearance from the President’s Office, Immigration, Customs, airport security – only to be stopped on the tarmac by… a policeman with a brand new, never before heard of requirement. The officer commanding the Law and Order Section of the police had arbitrarily decided they now had to get clearance from the Ministry of Health.”
