#TodayInZLHRHistory; In our pre-referendum statement issued on 15 March 2013, we stated that there was a consistent failure by COPAC to adhere to the timelines stipulated in Article VI of Global Political Agreement & the process lagged severely behind time. #ZLHRat25
We also noted the general lack of sufficient & timely information from COPAC about the referendum processes & developments & the general population was largely unaware of progress.
CSOs were largely sidelined throughout the process as they failed to independently & actively participate in the formal activities organised by COPAC.

The statement was issued after 7 ZRP officers led by Assistant Inspector Chimimba on 13 March 2007 stormed into ZCTU offices with a search warrant allowing them to search for & seize all "subversive materials" found on the premises.
2 ZLHR lawyers, who attended at ZCTU offices, found the ZRP officers going through the offices of the ZCTU, having detained ZCTU staff & visitors inside the offices. Four boxes containing some ZCTU fliers had already been seized.
