Treatment Of Zimbabwe Congress Of Trade Unions

EDM number 1609 in 2007-08, proposed by Kate Hoey on 19/05/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Human rights, Industrial relations and Zimbabwe.

That this House deplores the detention of the President, Lovemore Matombo and the Secretary General, Wellington Chibebe, of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions; welcomes the decision of Amnesty International to regard both men as prisoners of conscience; is gravely concerned by the relentless assault on political and civic expression evidence by shamelessly brutal attacks on trades union officials; and calls upon all who claim to uphold human rights and democracy to condemn unequivocally the use by the ZanuPF regime of imprisonment, abduction and violence to suppress the peacefully expressed democratic will of the people of Zimbabwe.

This motion has been signed by a total of 94 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
