HRC condemns violations committed against Zimbabwe prisoners

Date: May 28, 2025

The Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission (HRC), says it discovered several violations committed against detainees during a visit to the Harare Remand Prison.

Ninety-four political activists and journalist Blessed Mhlanga, who were recently arrested, had been held at the facility.

They were released last week on bail ranging from $100 to $500 each, after a long period of detention at the prison.

The activists were arrested on March 31, during protests to force President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down.
