Mnangagwa warned that the government was going after lawyers and doctors who were assisting people injured and/or arrested during ShutDownZim protests in January. ---------- Latest itel A06 on Pindula: 32GB storage, 4GB RAM $69 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 ---------- Amnesty International Deputy Regional Director for Southern Africa Muleya Mwananyanda said: > In response to President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s statement that the government will deal with those suspected to be behind the national ‘stay-away’ protests, including non-governmental organizations, trade union leaders, opposition leaders, doctors and lawyers. > President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s unfortunate comments are deeply troubling and unwarranted. Coming off the heels of Amnesty International’s expose of systematic targeting of dissent during the national ‘stay-away’ period, they affirm that his government used security forces, including military personnel, to brutalise people who were protesting. This latest threat is a sinister hint that the situation could become even worse. > If his government wants to build an inclusive country that is based on respect for human rights, President Mnangagwa should accommodate differing views, whether they please his government or not. *Related:* *Mnangagwa Backtracks On Threats To Go After Doctors, Lawyers Who Assisted SutDownZim Victims* *Mnangagwa Promises To Deal With Doctors And Nurses Who Treated ‘ShutDownZim’ Protestors* *More: Mail and Telegraph* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
