I’ve already blogged this but it is so important that as many people find out about this. But it is an important issue because it speaks volumes about the unwillingness of the global community to take action against a dictator like Robert Mugabe, yet are willing to accept action being taken against dictators like Suddam Hussein.
Mugabe, in his thirst for power and control, is targeting trade unionists for arrest, harassment and the odd unexplainable disappearance. Whether you’re a fan of trade unions or not, this is an unacceptable abuse of human rights!
Trade unionists in Zimbabwe are under constant threat of jail and/or death. Two trade unionists, Lovemore and Wellington, are on trial for simply being trade union leaders. They desperately need our help. Please support this global campaign and shame the Zimbabwean government.
Spread the word!
