UK: Human rights campaigner to seek Mugabe"s arrest

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

UK: Human rights campaigner to seek Mugabe"s arrest

[Note. Peter Tatchell is an Australian who now lives in England. He used to be an anti-Apartheid activist. He now spends all his efforts hunting down Mugabe. I wish he would be lucky enough to arrest the old dictatorial scumbag. Jan]

A British human rights campaigner is to apply for an international arrest warrant against Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe, it was reported in South Africa on Sunday.

Peter Tatchell will apply for the warrant and an extradition order against the controversial leader of the country formerly under British rule in London’s Bow Street magistrates court on Wednesday, the Sunday Times said.

“I have affidavits from three Zimbabwe torture victims. They implicate Mugabe in the authorisation of the torture,” Tatchell, who has in the past attempted to make a citizens arrest on Mugabe, told the newspaper.

He would also approach the court with affidavits from human rights groups that attest to “the widespread use of torture with the knowledge and consent of the Zimbabwean government”, he said.

A successful application could see the arrest and extradition of Mugabe from any of the more than 100 countries with which Britain has an extradition treaty, he said.

Mugabe has been largely blamed for bringing political and economic chaos upon Zimbabwe since its independence in 1980 with his radical policies which include seizing white-owned commercial farms. – Sapa-DPA
