Love and Zimbabwe
March 2nd, 2009
I stumbled across this campaign today while looking for information on something else. Love Zim is a church based campaign in solidarity with the Save Zimbabwe Now, focusing particularly, but not exclusively, on churches in Britain. This from their website:
Love Zim is a campaign supported by a coalition of UK organisations and churches already working for and in Zimbabwe. Love Zim aims to increase active support for Zimbabwe and Zimbabweans, especially amongst UK churches and Christians [...]
Britain has a particularly complex and difficult relationship with Zimbabwe and for this reason the British church has an even greater responsibility to pray and act in the present situation.
These images show them protesting outside the Zimbabwean Embassy in London. If you are based in the UK, why not join them and ZimVigil intheir efforts to achieve democracy and the restoration of human rights in Zimbabwe.
Still on the subject of ‘Love in Zimbabwe’, we recently received an email from Zimbabwe Democracy Now stating that an advert they had tried to place in The Herald (state controlled media) was refused. They asked us to include it in our Zimbabwe Inclusive Government Watch project as an example that the media is still being repressed, contrary to the spirit of the Global Political Agreement signed on the 15th September 2008. Was the advert so inflammatory it deserved to be banned? You can judge for yourselves by viewing the image below.
