We call on Zimbabwean authorities to immediately drop the charges against Bhekimpilo Mbedzi as his prosecution stems solely from the peaceful exercise of his human rights #Mbedzi

Bhekimpilo Mbedzi is being prosecuted for posting a video on Facebook calling for people to participate in the planned protest. Zimbabwe authorities must stop cracking down on peaceful dissent #Protest is not a crime. #Mbedzi

Zimbabwean authorities must end the misuse of the criminal justice system to arbitrarily arrest, detain, intimidate and harass opposition members, journalists and human rights defenders solely for peacefully exercising their human rights. #Mbedzi

Freedom of expression is protected under the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to which the country is a state party.
