He has, at great personal risk, challenged (President) Robert Mugabe’s authoritarian regime through non-violent resistance. We have requested that the UNWGAD issue an opinion declaring Mawarire’s arbitrary detention measures are in violation of international law. Roberto González, international legal associate at HRF, said the bail conditions were meant to stifle freedom of expression. He urgedthe UNWGAD to declare that Zimbabwe has failed to observe its international obligations under Articles 19, 21, and 22 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Mawarire is expected to speak at the 2017 HRF-organised Oslo Freedom Forum, in May. More: NewsDay _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
