We recommend
In light of the increased political activity across the country, ZPP continues to urge restraint and
tolerance. This is because in the context of a democratic society that Zimbabwe seeks to achieve,
intolerance and violence can only take the country backwards.
Political parties and individuals vying for public office have a duty to conduct themselves in a peaceful
manner and to respect the rights of citizens.

Executive
summary
The rights that we continue to remind politicians of include the right to free expression, freedom of
association, assembly and affiliation.
Belonging to or sympathizing with a political party of one’s choice is not a crime; it is a fundamental
right!
We also call on the ruling party to end its abuse of state institutions such as the police, and that the line
between government and the ruling party should remain clear.
