HARARE - A group from Restoration of Human Rights (ROHR) Zimbabwe activists yesterday convened in the city centre to send a clear message to the Southern African Development Committee (SADC)  Troika to take up a hard stance against Zanu (PF) and President Robert Mugabe.

In carrying out its fact finding mission, ROHR called on the SADC Troika to take note of the following fundamental issues of concern:
1.       The uniformed forces should execute their duties professionally without discriminating on the grounds of political affiliation. Investigations should be made on the fresh reports on the abduction of MDC supporters by armed police officials.
2.       Draconian media legislature POSA and AIPPA should be repealed as a matter of urgency.   
3.       The office of the attorney general should immediately cease intimidation campaigns that are targeted at harassing human rights defenders and political activist.
4.       Zanu (PF) should demobilize and disarm the militia.
5.       Known perpetrators of violence must face the law regardless of political affiliation and rank in society
