Staff Reporter |The European Union says President Robert Mugabe should respect citizens rights and allow them to express themselves freely.
The challenge to President Mugabe, by Brussels, comes after the police last week brutalised innocent citizens who were protesting in various parts of the country.
There were protests last week in the whole country which emanated from government’s failure to turn around the economy.
Police then arrested and tortured over 200 people in Harare, Bulawayo and Victoria Falls whom they accused of initiating the protests.
In a statement, Tuesday, EU Delegation in Zimbabwe said no one should be arrested for demonstrating.
“The EU delegation wishes to express its concern at reports of some incidents of serious violence and human rights abuses taking place during and in the aftermath of recent protests in a number of urban centres across the country,” said EU.
“The EU calls on all parties to respect the right to demonstrate peacefully, as enshrined within section 59 of the Zimbabwean Constitution. It is the responsibility of the government to ensure such protests are policed responsibly, that arrested persons are treated in accordance with section 50 of the Constitution, and that those responsible for unlawful violence face justice”.

We are determined to fight Mugabe and his ZANU PF thugs until the endgame frees us from our chains. We are under bondage in Zimbabwe and the ZANU PF thugs with Mugabe leading them are busy looting the little resources left in the country. The endgame is on and we know that its going to be painful but we are ready to see it to its conclusion. We need support from all progressive forces, who believe in the sanctity of life and human dignity.
