Zimbabwean Lawyers from different firms staged a mini demonstration at the High Court on Wednesday raising concerns of the abuse of human rights in the country.
Their demo was being perpetuated in regards to the Constitution that governs human rights which are being stamped on.
This comes in the wake of arrests and prolonged detention of various opposition and political activists by the State.
Lawyers demanded that government should uphold the constitution and respect the rule of law.
They placed white flowers in the form of a wreath before a placard that was inscribed: “Respect our Constitution, Zimbabweans Lives matter”.
Lawyers raised concerns over the implementation of justice on Journalist Hopewell Chi’nono and Jacob Ngarivhume.
The two were granted bail on Wednesday after spending almost 45 days in leg irons at Chikurubi Maximum Prison.
The situation of human rights abuse and detention of several people gained international traction , however government has been in denial and dismisses reports of human rights violations and abductions.
