HARARE – The ruling Zanu-PF party has been identified as the leading perpetrator of human rights violations across Zimbabwe last year, according to a report released by the Zimbabwe Human Rights Association (ZimRights) on Tuesday.
The 2024 Annual Report, titled “RISING STILL: COMMUNITY RESILIENCE IN THE STRUGGLE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IN ZIMBABWE,” has indicated that members of Zanu-PF were responsible for the highest number of documented human rights violations in 2024.
According to the report, ZimRights documented 274 human rights violations affecting a total of 8,279 people in 2024. Of these, 4,457 were females and 3,822 were males.
Harare and Bulawayo provinces consistently reported the highest numbers of affected individuals for both genders, suggesting a concentration of violations in these urban centers, potentially linked to political tensions and socio-economic instability.
The report identified members of Zanu-PF as perpetrators in 1,359 violations. This figure positions them as the leading group implicated in human rights abuses, followed by local government officials and police forces.
The report also highlighted a troubling trend with 4,697 instances of Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) violations.
