A petition to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the UN Special Rapporteur for Torture concerning human rights abuses in Zimbabwe

We are deeply disturbed at growing human rights abuses in Zimbabwe. There are daily reports of torture by the authorities in Zimbabwe, involving the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) and Zanu-PF militia. Now the police themselves are increasingly involved, reflecting a growing breakdown of law and order.

Independent observers in Zimbabwe (the Amani Trust) have recorded thousands of cases of political abuse, including beatings on the soles of the feet and suspected dissidents being burnt or given electric shocks by electrodes attached to genitalia and inserted in the ear. Many cases of ruptured eardrums have been seen as well as evidence of sexual torture, including the rape of young children.

Please will you draw this to the attention of the UN Security Council and urge it to send a team to Zimbabwe to investigate these gross violations of human rights.
