Tinashe Sambiri|Prominent journalist Hopewell Chin’ono has boldly declared that there is no rule of law in Zimbabwe.
Chin’ono denounced the prolonged detention of Alan Moyo.Moyo was today denied bail by the High Court.
“I am saddened that student leader Allan Moyo has been denied bail at the High Court of Zimbabwe.
A democratic society MUST have three pillars of Freedom of Expression:
- Freedom of Speech,
- Freedom of the Press and
- Freedom to Petition and Protest against the Government!
Without these freedoms, Zimbabwe can’t call itself a constitutional democracy at all, it remains a dictatorship where there is NO Rule of Law, but Rule By Law.
Nobody wants to live in such a country if they can help it, where repression is coupled with looting and incompetence!
My thoughts are with Allan and his family, and the student movement in Zimbabwe,” Chin’ono wrote on Facebook.
