I received this alert from the Open Society Initiative of Southern Africa via the AU-Monitor mailing list this morning. It seems that momentum against the Mugabe government is picking up, also with reports on the radio this morning that even the South African government is critical of the violence.
Dear Colleagues, Friends and Partners
With the escalation of repression in Zimbabwe, OSISA has released the following statement:
Please may we request you to disseminate as widely as possible to your networks, media and country contacts. We are presently in the process of drafting a statement which will appear in the regional press. This statement will be forwarded to you shortly and we would like you to sign up to either as an individual or as an organization demanding that the Zimbabwe government stop its atrocities against civil society.
We would also like to request that you lobby your government, the Zimbabwe Consulate/Embassy in country, other embassies, donors etc to make a statement on the situation in Zimbabwe. This can be done by holding public meetings etc.
We are also developing a strategy on engaging with SADC and will forward details in due course.
The situation is dire and needs urgent attention.
Yours in the struggle for democracy and human rights
The OSISA Team.
