*FULL TEXT: ZimRights Statement On The Extrajudicial Killing Of MDC-A Councillor* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?bk > ZimRights Condemns the Extra-Judicial Killing of Lovender Chiwaya in Mashonaland West. > ZimRights is greatly disturbed by the reports of the extrajudicial killing of the MDC’s District Coordinating Chairperson, Councillor Lovender Chiwaya (34) of Ward 4 Hurungwe Central in Karoi, Mashonaland West. > Reports are that Chiwaya’s body was found dumped on his doorstep. The MDC reports that Chiwaya was being hunted by state agents before his killing. > ZimRights condemns the extra-judicial killing of people for exercising their freedom of association. > Chiwaya represents what ZimRights identified as the many invisible victims of the ongoing crackdown on activists whose lives are in danger for exercising their rights. > Their lives are more in danger because they are away from the limelight. ZimRights believes their lives matter. In the citizens’ cry, #ZimbabweanLivesMatter, the life of Chiwaya is included. One life lost for any reason is too much. > This incident comes in the face of the state denying that there is a crisis in Zimbabwe. It follows a series of hate speeches by senior political leaders in the country. > ZimRights has since filed complaints against hate speech with the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission (ZHRC) and the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission (NPRCZ). > Since 30 March 2020, Chiwaya is the 4th victim of extra-judicial killing. > ZimRights joins the Chiwaya family in mourning and calls on the political leadership of the country and the region to act before it is too late. > Issued by the ZimRights Information Department _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
