2022_ZPP MMR October 2022 - Violence Upsurge Ahead of 2023 Elections

Monthly Monitoring Report

Executive Summary: ZPP recorded 255 human rights violations, a decrease from September's 257. Of these, 42 were in Harare, followed by 37 in Mashonaland East and 35 in Manicaland and Midlands. During the month, 3 546 victims were identified (2625 male and 921 female, including 15 PWDs). Assault cases were topical in October, with documented incidents increasing to 44 from 42 the previous month. Campaign activities for the October 22 by-elections were characterised by assaults of opposition leaders and supporters, making the elections and subsequent outcome unfair and less credible. The percentage of victims decreased to 0.2% for female persons with disability and 0.23% for males in October. Most human rights cases were perpetrated by Zanu PF, responsible for 48% of the violations, followed by Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) at 32%. The general citizens populated the highest percentage of victims, at 88%, and Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) supporters followed at 15%. Law enforcement agents and the ruling party continue to subject Zimbabwe's citizens to gross human rights violations. The MMR is a compilation of human rights violations in Zimbabwe. The report exposes perpetrators, informs the general public about the social, political, economic, civil, and cultural human rights situation, and informs the development of advocacy initiatives with various stakeholders. ZPP launched the #RRRV2023 campaign to create an active citizenry that Resists, Rejects, and Reports violence ahead of elections. The campaign seeks to achieve a peaceful electoral process where citizens are empowered to speak out and report when violated and increase their level of alertness and responsiveness to pressure duty bearers to be accountable.
