Responsibility for human rights abuses This section further categorizes those held responsible for organized political violence. This information should assist in future accountability and healing-programme designs, both at community and national levels. Table 8: Who was responsible for the past human rights abuses against you? Frequency Percentage Security agents 68 12 Political activists 345 60 21 4 129 23 9 1 572 100 Traditional leaders Militant youth groups Can’t remember TOTAL It is significant to note from Table 8 that 60 per cent of past human rights abuses were attributed to political activists, while 23 per cent of the respondents blamed militant youth groups and 12 per cent blamed security agents for the human rights abuses against them. The responses can be further broken down by province, as shown in Table 9, whose highlights are: ‡3ROLWLFDODFWLYLVWVWRSSHGWKHOLVWRISHUSHWUDWRUVRIYLRODWLRQVFRPPLWWHGFRXQWU\ZLGH ‡$KLJKHUSHUFHQWDJHRIYLRODWLRQVZDVFRPPLWWHGE\PLOLWDQW\RXWKJURXSVLQWKH Matabeleland regions. The reason that political activists top the list of violators in all provinces may reasonably be attributed to the fact that violence in Zimbabwe is regularly linked to major events when political power is fiercely contested.
