This data also establishes that the probability of experiencing a gross human rights violation and torture increase appreciably with the likelihood of a person being an activist and actually being active. 4.6 Justice for Agriculture survey The violations that accompanied the so-called “land reform” programme have been covered by a large number of anecdotal reports, but little in the way of systematic reporting. The Justice for Agriculture Trust [JAG], together with the Research and Advocacy Unit [RAU and the General Agricultural and Plantation Workers Union of Zimbabwe [GAPWUZ], have been carrying out detailed investigations of the violations that took place on the commercial farms since 2000. JAG has issued a number of reports61, the most relevant of which for present purposes described the information obtained from a 10% sample of all commercial farmers; that is, 418 out of 4,500 farmers that were on farms in 2000. This is an important study because it provides the strongest statistical support about the prevalence of gross human rights violations in the period under consideration. The study is critical because it provides data from a discrete population, and bases its conclusions on a valid sample of this population. The JAG report estimated that, between 2000 and 2008, there were a probable minimum of 1.4 million human rights violations against commercial farmers and commercial farm workers, with the vast majority of these violations being perpetrated against commercial farm workers. Torture and assault was more frequently reported by farm workers than farmers, and the farm workers accounted for more than 90% of the total minimum violations. The JAG report provided startling information about the alleged perpetrators. The data indicate, as can be seen from Table 17, that once again ZANU PF supporters are in the majority of the alleged perpetrators. It can also be seen that the rankings for perpetrators are very similar for both farmers and farm workers. 60 61 Page 20 The percentages have been added and not provided in the original WOZA report.
