In light of the above, ZPP Calls for:
o Government institutions to facilitate transparent and exhaustive investigation into abductions, torture and
assault crimes.
o Law enforcement agencies should put more effort in curbing violations, including murders committed by
gangs of artisanal miners.
o Government to take seriously the preliminary report and recommendations of the UN Special Rapporteur
on the Rights to Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and of Association and reform, where the rights of citizens
are concerned.
o Government must make the rights of food and access to clean water a priority and ensure ALL citizens
have access to such.
ABOUT ZPP
The organisation was founded in 2000 by church-based and human rights organisations. The current members of ZPP are
Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe (EFZ), Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC), Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace in
Zimbabwe (CCJPZ), Counselling Services Unit (CSU), Zimbabwe Human Rights Association (ZimRights), Civic Education Network
Trust (CIVNET), and Women’s Coalition of Zimbabwe (WCoZ).
ZPP was established with the objective of monitoring, documenting and building peace and promoting the peaceful resolution of
disputes and conflicts. The Zimbabwe Peace Project seeks to foster dialogue and political tolerance through non-partisan peace
monitoring activities, mainly through monitors who document the violations of rights in the provinces.
The monitors, who at full complement stand at 420, constitute the core pool of volunteers, supported by four Regional Coordinators.
The Regional Coordinators relate with the national office headed by the National Director and programme officers in various units.
