| Abstract |
In Zimbabwe lawyers defending human rights are under attack from the state media. The Government controlled press is happy to quote South African President Thabo Mbeki's remark in ANC Today, 12 Dec 2003:
| " | ... some within Zimbabwe [...] 'treat human rights as a tool' for over-throwing the government of Zimbabwe and rebuilding Zimbabwe as they wish. In modern parlance, this is called regime change " |
This article describes the environment the judiciary and lawyers have to work in and cites specific cases of political interference and harassment. |
