Flagrant violation of the rule of law on Mount Carmel farm
Sokwanele Article: April 16th, 2009We have added captions and background information to this footage, circulated to the media, of Ben Freeth's recent visit to his father-in-law's farm (on Good Friday, 10 April 2009). Shortly after this visit to Mount Carmel, Ben Freeth wrote an open letter to Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai:
Dear Prime Minister Tsvangirai
As you are aware I wrote an open letter to you 2 weeks ago asking where we were going because "soon it will be too late."
I likened our country’s economy to that of an engine that is continuing to be stripped. Unfortunately the stripping process has increased in momentum significantly since my letter; and police unfortunately remain complicit with it.

We encourage all Zimbabweans to start speaking out and lobbying people around the world in your individual capacities. Sokwanele has set up an 'Action Contact Database' where we are collecting a range of contact names, useful for Zimbabwe email action initiatives, that Zimbabweans can easily find and use towards promoting non violent change in Zimbabwe. Please use it to find contact details so that you can speak out and tell people around the world what is happening in our country.
It is more than a month since the elections were held on March 29th 2008, and we are still waiting for the Presidential results.
Meanwhile, Zanu PF has embarked on a campaign of terror and intimidation in the rural areas against opposition supporters. There have been at least ten murders so far.
