Zimbabwe: ZHRC Warns of Intimidation At Constitution Hearings Despite High Turnout

The Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission (ZHRC) raised concerns about intimidation and restricted participation during public hearings on proposed constitutional changes. While attendance was high, incidents of intimidation were reported, including threats and physical attacks against those opposing the bill. The ZHRC also noted cases of 'controlled participation' at several venues, where access was restricted and attendees were vetted.
