Concern is mounting locally and internationally about renewed threats of violence and intimidation ahead of the next elections, the countless cases of violence that have gone unreported and the fact that most perpetrators have never been held accountable.

The Zimbabwe Justice Project calls for people across the country to take action to stop the violence and to stand up for their rights. The first step is to report all the people who have committed acts of violence and to ensure that they are held accountable.

Once perpetrators of violence realise that their names and criminal acts have been recorded and are being stored safely outside the country, they will be less likely to commit further human rights abuses. And those planning acts of violence will be forced to rethink their actions if they know that they too will be held accountable. Even if a person is operating under orders, he will still be held to account in a court of law. Zimbabwe has endured a decade of lawlessness but the tide is finally starting to turn.

Victims of violence are asked to fill in "Stop the Violence" forms, which are currently available in English and Shona and can be downloaded at the above links.
