7. Third Session of the Commission I. Communications received by the Commission after the Second Session 70. The Commission of Inquiry received communications from the ITUC and the OATUU dated 9 and 13 November 2009 concerning the alleged arrest and detention of the President and four officials of the ZCTU. The Commission also received a communication dated 10 November 2009 from the International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers’ Associations alleging that individuals believed to be CIO officials had threatened the family of the President of the General Agricultural and Plantation Workers’ Union of Zimbabwe (GAPWUZ) in her absence. The Commission of Inquiry was informed that the International Labour Office had written to the President and Prime Minister of Zimbabwe in regard to these allegations. 71. The Commission was advised of a communication from the Government dated 6 November 2009 and received by the Director of the International Labour Standards Department on 9 December 2009, in which the Government indicated its view that the work of the Commission should be premised only on the specific allegations that led to its establishment, as well as the findings obtained during its visits to Zimbabwe. The Government stated that it found it inappropriate for the ITUC to have forwarded fresh allegations implying that the Government was taking no action and found it unsuitable for the Commission to entertain unverified allegations. The Commission considered it its duty to take account of all relevant information up to the adoption of its report. II. Adoption of the report 72. The Third Session of the Commission was held in Geneva from 12 to 18 December 2009 when it considered and adopted its report. 28 Meetings-2009-Zimbabwe C of I-2009-12-0035-3-En.doc/v3
