Harare- The
government of Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe
on Friday issued a chilling
threat against Western journalists
working in the southern African country as
political tensions mount.
In a statement quoted by the official Herald
newspaper, the
information ministry warned journalists, including the
correspondents
of two British newspapers - Jan Raath of the Times and
Peta
Thornycroft of the Daily Telegraph - that the government might
be
forced to act against them.
The statement also accused broadcaster
CNN of supporting a US
government policy of regime change in the
country.
"CNN's editorial hostility echoes the American
administration's
policy of regime change through illegal and pernicious
sanctions
designed to hurt Zimbabwe's economy and build disaffection in
the
populace," the statement claimed.
"Sadly, CNN has embedded itself
within such a treacherous
imperialist policy which has already repeatedly
failed and will never
succeed in Zimbabwe," the statement
continued.
Zimbabwe's government is hostile to many Western media
outlets,
and has registered very few to operate inside the
country.
All journalists working have to be licensed with the
state-
appointed Media and Information Commission (MIC).
On Friday the
MIC claimed Western embassies were smuggling
reporters into the
country.
It also warned Zimbabweans offering accommodation to
unlicensed
foreign correspondents that they too would face
prosecution.
"It is, therefore, important for all Zimbabweans hosting
or
accommodating any foreigners to tell them that if they are
journalists,
they ought to report to the MIC immediately and apply
for accreditation," it
said.

ELEANOR HALL: Former Australian resident and Zimbabwe political
activist, Sekai Holland, is now in South Africa receiving medical treatment
for the injuries she sustained in a brutal police bashing earlier this
month.
An Australian embassy official escorted Mrs Holland, and
her husband
Jim, from the hospital where she'd been kept under armed guard
to Harare's
international airport.
And Mr Holland has given a
dramatic account of the bashing his wife
endured and says they're lucky to
be out of the country.
Today the Prime Minister, John Howard, has
also stepped up his
criticism of Zimbabwe's neighbours, saying they have to
stop what he says is
"pussy foot" diplomacy, and cut off President Robert
Mugabe.
Sabra Lane reports.
SABRA LANE: Jim Holland
readily admits he and his wife are very lucky
to be out of
Zimbabwe.
From the safety of a Johannesburg hospital, he's given a
gruesome
account of what happened to his wife.
JIM HOLLAND: And
she was subjected to the most brutal beating that can
possibly be imagined,
by 16 men and, and a woman, over a period of many
hours. She passed out on
several occasions.
The result of which was multiple bruises all
over her body, that
doctors have counted over 80 separate contusions. They.
a woman who jumped
on her chest broke three of her ribs. Others broke her
arm, fractured a
knee, broke her leg. And she has lacerations as
well.
SABRA LANE: The couple tried leaving Zimbabwe earlier this
week, but
were stopped at the airport and ordered back to hospital, where
Sekai
Holland was kept under guard.
She told AM earlier this
week that she feared she would die.
Mr Holland insists he doesn't
know if they'll return to Harare, but
for now he says they'll focus on
improving her health.
JIM HOLLAND: She has had to be operated on,
with pins inserted in her
leg and her arm. And she is finally starting to
recover.
So, we're optimistic that the prognosis is good for the
long-term, but
clearly she's going to suffer pain from this for the rest of
her life.
SABRA LANE: Foreign Minister Alexander Downer told ABC
News Radio's
Marius Benson, that Australia had an active role in helping the
couple leave
the country.
ALEXANDER DOWNER: We've been very
worried about her in hospital. The
Ambassador's been to visit her several
times in hospital. She's not been in
very good shape, so we've been trying
to get her out of the country, finally
that's been possible.
MARIUS BENSON: And, Mr Downer, was that decision to have an embassy
official
accompany her ambulance to the airport, were you involved in that
decision,
or was that an initiative from the Ambassador?
ALEXANDER DOWNER:
Well, in a specific sense, they're all initiatives
of the Ambassador. We've
just asked the Ambassador to do everything he can
to try to assist, him and
his staff, of course, not just him alone. And so,
I'm delighted he's been
able to do that.
SABRA LANE: Prime Minister John Howard has told
Southern Cross Radio
he doesn't care if the Zimbabwean Government is upset
by Australia's
intervention.
JOHN HOWARD: I don't care about
that. And frankly, I've run out
patience, most people have run out of
patience about what's happening in
Zimbabwe, and I hear out of South Africa
that people are saying there should
continue to be internal debate about
this issue in Zimbabwe.
I saw the South African High Commissioner
on television last night
saying; it's got to be resolved within Zimbabwe.
That's what I was told five
years ago.
SABRA LANE: He also says
it's time for Zimbabwe's neighbours to get
serious, and cut off President
Robert Mugabe.
JOHN HOWARD: We pussy foot around far too much using
diplomatic
language. This man is a disaster, and I think it's time the
collective
African leadership, and the people who can get Mugabe out are his
neighbouring African leaders.
SABRA LANE: Also exerting
pressure, Alexander Downer on Cricket
Australia.
Australia's
due to tour Zimbabwe in September. Mr Downer says it
should be
scrapped.
ALEXANDER DOWNER: One of the questions is the extent to
which they
could break a contract to play it, with the International Cricket
Council,
to go and play in Zimbabwe. It might be that that would be quite
expensive
for them. It might cost them $1 or $2 million, money of that kind.
That is
it would cost Cricket Australia that money.
Now
obviously we wouldn't want to put them into debt to that extent,
but if you
want to know what my wish is, my wish is that the Australian
Cricket team
would not go and play in Zimbabwe.
SABRA LANE: Cricket Australia
won't comment on that until the World
Cup is over, and the International
Cricket Council says it won't comment
either, until Cricket Australia
officials make their preliminary tour of the
country later this
year.
ANDREW MURRAY: Well, Cricket Australia has always taken an
amoral and
businesslike view.
SABRA LANE: Democrats senator
Andrew Murray lived in Zimbabwe for 26
years when it was known as Rhodesia.
He says Cricket Australia can't ignore
what's happening in the
country.
ANDREW MURRAY: Frankly, it's one of those circumstances
where they
need to join in with the rest of the world in recognising this is
a pariah
state, and suspending relationships.
It's very hard
for Zimbabwean cricketers, obviously, and for those
Zimbabweans who enjoy
sport, but the same issues were confronted with South
Africa when, you know,
sports boycotts operated there.
ELEANOR HALL: Democrats senator
Andrew Murray ending that report by
Sabra Lane.
Los Angeles Times
Editorial
South Africa's foreign policy toward Zimbabwe and Iran are black marks
on
the country's democratic image.
March 23, 2007
IF SOUTH
AFRICA'S foreign policy continues on its present course, a nation
that has
been a relative beacon of African development and democracy since
overthrowing apartheid in 1994 runs the risk of becoming an international
pariah.
Pressure has been mounting on South African President Thabo
Mbeki to curb
the excesses of President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, whose
human rights
abuses and catastrophic economic policies across South Africa's
northern
border threaten to turn his country into a failed state. Mugabe's
thuggish
handling of a political rally last week, which left Zimbabwe's main
opposition leader hospitalized after a severe beating, prompted
international condemnation - but not a word from Mbeki. South Africa is
Zimbabwe's largest trading partner, and Mbeki wields more influence over
Mugabe than any other world leader.
But if Pretoria's silence on
Zimbabwe is lamentable, its performance this
week at the U.N. Security
Council has been deplorable. After the five
veto-wielding members of the
council, plus Germany, finally hammered out a
list of limited sanctions to
punish Iran for its nuclear intransigence,
South Africa introduced
amendments seeking to gut nearly the entire package.
Though South Africa is
a nonpermanent member of the council with no veto,
its interference
eliminates the opportunity to send a unanimous message to
Tehran and
provides cover for China, which is reluctant to approve the
sanctions but
doesn't want to stand out as their only opponent.
None of this would be
surprising if it came from a rogue state like
Venezuela. Yet Mbeki has been
a leader in fighting poverty and working for
good governance throughout
Africa. South Africa is widely recognized as a
leader in nuclear
nonproliferation, being the only country in the history of
the world to
possess a nuclear arsenal and to voluntarily dismantle it. So
how to explain
the disgraceful stands on Zimbabwe and Iran?
The answer probably comes
down to regional and racial politics. Mugabe
became a hero to black
nationalists, and a villain to whites, when he seized
farms from white
owners in 2000 and passed the land to his black supporters.
The move was a
disaster economically but popular among South Africa's
majority black
population, which is smarting over racial inequities in land
ownership left
over from the apartheid era. Pressuring Mugabe might inflame
Mbeki's
domestic constituents. On Iran, meanwhile, South Africa has
sophisticated
nuclear power expertise that it's eager to export. Apparently,
this possible
market is more important to Mbeki than thwarting the arsenal
ambitions of
Tehran's fanatical regime.
Mbeki's term expires in 2009. On the whole,
his tenure has been good for
South Africa, which is enjoying steady economic
growth and a strengthening
of democratic institutions. But his foreign
policies are turning a positive
legacy sour and sowing instability in the
world.
Business Day
23 March 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THERE
are signs that regional leaders are growing impatient with the way SA
is
handling Zimbabwe's political crisis.
There is a danger to SA that our
Southern African Development Community
(SADC) partners may begin to move in
way that could dent Pretoria's
diplomatic image in the
region.
Zambian president Levy Mwanawasa's assertion this week that quiet
diplomacy
has failed to solve the political chaos and economic meltdown in
Zimbabwe is
just an illustration of this. There is frustration and a little
malice in
the remark. Mwanawasa must have known his words would sting
President Thabo
Mbeki. But they are also heartfelt, bemoaning as they do the
sight of
Pretoria missing out on a wonderful opportunity to finally abandon
quiet
diplomacy in favour of a more direct approach on the
issue.
Observers thought that Pretoria would, finally, emerge from its
diplomatic
torpor in the wake of last week's savage clampdown on the
Zimbabwean
opposition. Its silence, however, has been deafening and it is
interesting
that not only did Mwanawasa say his piece, but that he said it
in Namibia,
which has increasingly been viewed as a close Zimbabwe ally.
This might have
prompted former Zambian president Kenneth Kaunda -
historically a potent
supporter of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe - to
say that what was
needed most was the creation of a committee of eminent
persons to mediate
Zimbabwe's worsening political crisis.
Mwanawasa's
and Kaunda's statements were made at a crucial time in young SA's
diplomatic
history - just days after SA completed its tenure at the United
Nations
Security Council by blocking discussion on Zimbabwe and ahead of
next week's
SADC summit.
It is quite possible that regional leaders looking at the
Zimbabwe issue
next week could outpace SA on the issue and leave Pretoria
looking both
isolated and ineffectual.
Putting big and powerful
Pretoria in its place would be an appealing
prospect for our poorer northern
neighbours.

Sikhanyiso Ndlovu,
Zimbabwe's information and publicity minister, says there
is no crisis in
Zimbabwe and has reiterated that there is no need for SADC's
intervention.
Ndlovu brushed aside the concerns of the international
community on the
state of affairs in Harare as merely a British ploy to
destroy his country.
He also accused the opposition MDC of aiding Britain in
its campaign.
Contrary to what is reported in the newspapers about the
depth of the
humanitarian crisis in Zimbabwe, the country maintains its
house is in
order. Last week's police beatings of opposition leaders sparked
international condemnation of gross human rights violations with Britain
which is now pushing for sanctions on the country.
But Ndlovu says
the beatings were prompted by the MDC who first declared war
on the police
then played the victim when security forces responded. The
MDC's Priscilla
Misihairabwi refuted this and instead accused the government
of being set on
its plans to thwart any action inconsistent with its
policies.
The First Post
Moses Moyo
In a move seen as savage even by the grim standards of Robert
Mugabe's
government, all state hospitals in Zimbabwe have been forbidden to
treat
civilians wounded by police in protest demonstrations.
Medical
superintendents of all major national health centres received their
instructions on Wednesday, in government circular no. 2209/21. Although the
circular does not explicitly deny help to members of the opposition MDC, it
says each patient must provide an explanation of their injuries before they
can be treated. If they say their injury was caused during political
protests they must present a police report of the incident. They must also
declare their political alliegance, and produce a party card to prove
it.
It is hopelessly impractical to expect suffering victims to produce
police
reports. Opposition supporters are also well aware that if their
politics
are known their treatment will be less than
satisfactory.
After the recent disturbances, 10 civilian patients at the
state Harare
Hospital were confirmed dead from injuries consistent with
being beaten by
blunt objects. To avoid further embarrassing statistics,
doctors have been
ordered not to reveal the cause of death on death
certificates.
The MDC are countering this government crackdown by sending
any of their
members who are injured to private hospitals, such as the
Avenues Hospital
in Harare. This is where their leader Morgan Tsvangirai was
treated for the
injuries he sustained on March 11, the start of the current
crisis.

NEWS RELEASE
INTERNATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION
the global
voice of the legal profession
[For Immediate Release, 21 March
2007]
Zimbabwe: Violence and threats against lawyers condemned by
the IBA
The International Bar Association (IBA)'s Human
Rights Institute today
condemned the recent violence and threats made
against Zimbabwean lawyers by
police and other officials.
On
20 March, Ms Beatrice Mtetwa, a prominent human rights lawyer, and her
assistant were violently manhandled and threatened by police officers whilst
serving them court papers. Ms Mtetwa has represented many people who have
been arrested for attempting to exercise their fundamental human rights to
free association, assembly and expression.
This incident is
the latest in a series of disturbing reports of threats
against lawyers
involved in representing those involved in the 7 March
prayer meeting in
Highfield. As the IBA reported last week, many of those
involved in the
meeting were arrested and brutally attacked by police in
detention.
Other reports include the
following:
- On 19 March, lawyer Mr Harrison Nkomo was
threatened with arrest
by Assistant Commissioner Mabunda when he tried to
serve court processes and
notices.
- On 18 March, Mr Andrew
Makoni, was reportedly threatened with
'disappearance' at the Harare police
station whilst attempting to serve a
High Court order on the Assistant
Commissioner.
- On 17 March, lawyer Mr Tafadzwa Mugabe was
threatened with assault
and arrest when trying to assert his clients' rights
to leave the country to
access medical treatment in South Africa. His
clients were among those
brutally attacked by police following the 7 March
prayer meeting. He was
also told to stop representing those
clients.
- Also on 17 March 2007, lawyer Mar Dzimbabwe Chimbga,
was
threatened by officials at the airport when returning to Harare, and was
told to stop taking up cases involving opposition members.
-
On 11 March 2007, Mr Harrison Nkomo was assaulted with a baton by
officers
at Machipisa Police Station after inquiring about the whereabouts
of the
opposition leaders arrested following the prayer meeting on 7
March.
The IBA is extremely anxious about the safety of lawyers
in Zimbabwe,
particularly those involved in representing opposition
members. The
intimidation of lawyers in this manner breaches Article 14 of
the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Article 7 of
the
African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, which guarantee the right
to
legal counsel of one's choosing. Zimbabwe is a party to both these
instruments.
The IBA would also like to draw attention to the
provisions of the Basic
Principles on the Role of Lawyers, which guarantee
the right of all persons
to be assisted by a lawyer to protect their rights
and to defend them in all
stages of criminal proceedings. The Basic
Principles also provide that
Governments must ensure that lawyers are able
to perform all of their
professional functions without intimidation,
hindrance or harassment.
Further, Governments are obliged to ensure that
lawyers shall not suffer or
be threatened with sanctions for any action as
part of their professional
duties. In situations where the security of
lawyers is threatened as a
result of discharging their duties, they must be
adequately safeguarded by
the authorities.
It is evident that
the Government of Zimbabwe is not protecting but
violating the rights of its
lawyers in violation of the Basic Principles.
The IBA calls on the
Government of Zimbabwe to take immediate steps to
ensure that these rights
are protected and that lawyers are able to perform
their role without fear
of violence or intimidation.
'The recent threats made to lawyers
place the rule of law in Zimbabwe in
even greater peril', Mark Ellis,
Executive Director of the International Bar
Association stated. 'The
international community must increase pressure on
the Mugabe Government to
end this series of unprecedented attacks on basic
human
rights.'
'This disregard for international human rights
obligations and the rule of
law is of serious concern, stated Justice
Richard Goldstone, Co-Chair of the
HRI. 'I call on the Mugabe Government to
ensure strict observance of its
own laws and international treaty
obligations'.

The Foreign Affairs Minister, Alexander
Downer, says it is possible
Australian embassy staff could be kicked out of
Zimbabwe.
Overnight, the Australian embassy in Harare helped a Zimbabwean
Opposition
figure injured in political violence leave the country for
medical
treatment.
Mr Downer says Zimbabwe's President, Robert
Mugabe, should resign and
Australian diplomats will continue to lobby
southern African nations to take
action against him.
"Well there's
always the risk that the Zimbabwe Government will kick them
out of Zimbabwe,
and if they do that will focus international attention on
the good work that
Australians are doing in Zimbabwe standing up for civil
rights and human
rights," he said.
Mr Downer also said the Australian Government will
provide more than $80,000
to help victims of violence in Zimbabwe.
He
says the international aid agency, AusAID, has given to money to a
non-government organisation in Zimbabwe to help cover medical costs and
counselling services.
Mr Downer says Australia will make further
donations to other non-government
organisations in the strife-torn African
country.
"This will be a good way for us to provide support to victims of
political
harassment and oppression in Zimbabwe," he said.
"We will
provide support to other non-government organisations in Zimbabwe
which
support human rights."
Street protests
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe's
outspoken Roman Catholic Archbishop, Pius Ncube, has
urged his fellow
citizens to take part in mass street protests to overthrow
President
Mugabe.
The Archbishop says he is prepared to stand in front of blazing
guns if
others would stand with him.
He says the Zimbabwean
Government's grip on power must be loosened.
"The Government is our
property," he said.
"They ought to be answerable to us.
"Mugabe,
he control us and hold us, hold us so tight that we can't move.
"They
have no right to do it."
The Star
Letters
March

If the truth and only the truth is told Zimbabwe
would not be in this
pathetic situation.
Zimbabwe could be free. If
only Mugabe had been told the truth when he
massacred 20 000 defenceless
people of Matabeleland in the early '80s.
If only Mugabe was condemned
and been told the truth when he rigged the
first democratic elections in
1980, if only the world had listened to Dr
Joshua Nkomo and the church when
they cried out at Mugabe's brutality.
If only people had held peaceful
demonstrations and prayer meetings during
the Gukurahudu epoch.
If
only Mugabe was thwarted when he evaded the DRC and told the truth about
the
sovereignty of that state. Zimbabwe could today be enjoying the fruits
of
freedom.
Should the truth be told, Mbeki is right when he says
Zimbabweans are the
only ones who can liberate themselves. It is us
Zimbabweans who have
created, nourished and defended Mugabe during his
"infant" stage.
He is now deep-rooted and it is only us Zimbabweans who
know him better and
hence we are in a better position to remove
him.
Much can be done and said both internally and externally. It will
never
work.
Finally Zimbabweans need only to stand up and tell Mugabe
the truth about
his evil deeds and that they no longer need him and only the
truth shall set
the country free.
