Organ on Politics and National Healing, Reconciliation and Integration remains by and large inactive. No concrete steps have been taken by the law enforcement agents to bring to book all those responsible for past human rights violations and provide redress to the victims of violence. In fact, reports were received of the abusers actually continuing to haunt their victims. For example, in June 2010 in Mt Darwin District, six women from Mukumbura, raped in 2008, reported that their assailants were now revisiting their homes threatening them with further violence, even telling the victims’ husbands how they enjoyed their crimes. On June 12, eight villagers, all victims of the 2008 violence, left their homes after they had been visited by state security agents, looking for MDC activists who had filed intentions to sue the people who assaulted them in 2008. In both incidents the police refused to intervene. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS During the first six months of the year 2010, some civil society activities proceeded without hindrance but the benefits of such developments were overshadowed by a significant number of activities either banned or disrupted. Unlawful arrests, detentions, intimidation and threats were rampant. Key GPA provisions were breached, in particular: Article X that guarantees free political activity, Article XI that pledges rule of law and respect for the constitution and other laws, Articles XII and XIX that guarantee freedom of assembly, association, expression, and communication and Article XVIII on measures to protect the security of persons and prevent violence. To ensure implementation of GPA provisions on respect for human rights and operating environment by the Inclusive Government, CISOMM recommends the following: • Parties to the GPA must once and for all resolve the stalemate facing the Inclusive Government in order to focus full attention to implementation of political developments crucial for the restoration of human rights, democracy and good governance. • Police and other law enforcement agents should desist from unnecessarily invoking POSA, AIPPA and the Criminal Code to ban and disrupt peaceful gatherings, meetings, rallies and demonstrations. The Public Order and Security Act (POSA) Amendment Bill should not be allowed to die a natural death. • The arbitrary arrest and detention, as well as harassment of political activists, civil society members and journalists should come to an end. • Politically motivated interference detrimental to the constitution making process should come to an end to enable full citizen participation. COPAC should be accorded the space and resources to produce a credible draft constitution. It must therefore thoroughly investigate all reports of violence and intimidation and come up with solutions to correct these. • Parties to the Inclusive Government must take concrete steps to halt politically motivated violence, promote national healing and unity, rebuild and reform law enforcement institutions and ensure that the Human Rights Commission become operational.
