What was interesting about this data was the involvement of the different groups. As was seen earlier, the ZRP (and security forces as a whole) were frequently mentioned by both groups as being involved in violations, but both groups reported that Zanu(PF) supporters, war veterans, and youth militia were the most common perpetrators. This is the frequent finding in other human rights reports, but here must be allied to the findings that the farmers had great difficulty in getting the ZRP to obey their constitutional duty to both prevent violence and implement the orders of the courts. Furthermore, there are the findings that many policemen were intimidated and that those who attempted to remain professional were likely to be transferred away, or forced to resign. It was also interesting that, of the “civilian” perpetrators, farm workers reported MPs more frequently than did the farmers, but also that so many government officials were mentioned by 44 Again the rank order frequencies were significantly correlated[ 0.91; p=0.001].
