Title   The case of Henry Dowa: the United Nations and Zimbabwe under the spotlight
Author Redress Trust
Edition PDF
Published London: Redress
Year 2004-01-26
Pages 22
Abstract In May 2003 REDRESS learned that an allegedly notorious Zimbabwean police torturer, Henry Dowa (chief inspector in the Criminal Investigation Department (Law and Order Section) at the ZRP Harare Central Police station), was in Kosovo. Sources inside and outside of Zimbabwe confirmed that there were numerous serious allegations of torture linked to him, and further investigations revealed that Dowa was part of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) civilian police force (CIVPOL). In September 2003, the UN asked the Zimbabwe government to withdraw Dowa, which it did. He is now back in Zimbabwe, once again beyond the reach of justice. In this report REDRESS documents the issues arising from the case of Henry Dowa.
