MUGABE BANS “INTEFERING” HUMAN RIGHTS GROUPS

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.

MUGABE BANS “INTEFERING” HUMAN RIGHTS GROUPS

Zimbabwe moves to restrict NGOs

Robert Mugabe has warned against what he calls foreign interference
Zimbabwe’s government has published a proposed law that would ban foreign human rights organisations and restrict many local charities.
The bill requires non-governmental organisations to apply for a licence, but says none will be granted if the group’s aim is to promote human rights.
Local groups would also be banned from receiving funds from abroad to finance work in such fields.

President Robert Mugabe has repeatedly accused NGOs of meddling in politics.

‘Safety nets’

A key clause of the bill states that “no foreign non-governmental organisation shall be registered if its sole or principal objects involve or include issues of governance”.

Issues of governance are defined as “the promotion and protection of human rights and political governance issues”.

But the National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations said the proposed law would criminalise groups which helped the most vulnerable in society, including the unemployed and those living with HIV/Aids.

“Unfortunately the bill criminalises a sector that is providing social safety nets to a lot of communities throughout the country,” it said, the AP news agency reported.

Human rights campaigners have said the bill, if it became law, would have devastating effects.

The bill is expected to be passed through parliament to become law when parliament reconvenes later this year.
