Hi Sokwanele This is just a wild idea. I've been scanning the news to see if Irene Kahn from Amnesty International has any specific intentions of addressing the Prisons situation while she's in Zim. So far I can't find any. Is it perhaps possible that you could compose a letter to her and ask her to specifically address the plight of the prisoners, and post it here? Maybe we could we can get a bulk email to her or something before she leaves.... http://en.afrik.com/article15814.html Just an idea....

in response to the above article, listed below are three major concerns : .Unemployment has quadrupled since independence .widespread corruption in government and the ruling party .ZANU-PF's increasing partisan domination of state and civil society my method of solution would start with freedom and power to determine the destiny of our zimbabwe and to do this there has to be an end to the robbery by zanu pf.in addition to this an immediate end to police brutality and an immediate end to all wars of aggression.

i call the abductions a breach of agreements signed between the two parties in September, when MDC and ZANU-PF agreed in principle to share power. Zanu-PF has no respect for the documents that it signs. firstly, there is no honestly,trust and faith between these two parties.Zanu Pf are aware of this and they can never honour the agreement therefore i think the agreement isvoid

for a new zimbabwe PARADZAI ZIMONDI must go.Most prison officers if not all should be fired because they themselves have witnessed this unlawful, undemocratic arrest and abduction of fellow zimbabweans.The history of Paradzai zimondi speaks for itself , clearly the man is a retired general and not a good commissioner of prisons.

"Zimbabwe's Secret Police have arrested top human rights lawyer Alec Muchadehama, on as yet unspecified allegations, colleagues said. Muchadehama was apprehended by three officers of the notorious "law and order" section of the police at the Harare magistrates' court while processing release orders for three high-profile political prisoners granted bail on Wednesday. The arrest is the latest in a series of arrests of court officials, lawyers, journalists and members of parliament (MPs) of the former opposition Movement for Democratic Change, now in coalition with Mugabe's former ruling Zanu-PF party..." This report was found on News 24. Anyone know about anything this?

i am actually fed up of what this Current government is doing, when will we Zimbabweans ever be free and live in a democratic country. Why should we always be scared and driven out of our country by this evil robert mugabe. enough is enough, when will this man get it that he has caused all this suffering to humanity. I am fed up of all this hatred and torture that our fellow brothers and sisters are enduring. Children of tomorrow have no bright future, the country is in shambles, and honestly let there be a rule of law for a change. I pray for everyone who is suffering under the ruthless regime of robert mugabe.Jestina and everyone else who is suffering, we are praying for you and continue to do the good work that you are doing. We shall not give up until we achieve our freedom!!!

@Bex - I find that your words are so full of thought and I agree with what you say, we as Zimbabweans should do the right thing, FIGHT for whats ours. I emphasize on fight because the fighting we need is not spilling blood but it is also in realising the goodness off our own land and try to get it functioning by focusing on the positive. We as Zimbabweans waited as the things changed for the worse, I bet some of us even laughed as the politicians covered one screw up with another, we found a solution to the country as leaving it, now we are scattered everywhere, the Zimbabweans who can afford internet and are sending hate messagaes and no solutions are all outside the country, we have come to be artists to survive we want to draw pity to ourselves as the Zimbabweans who can not go back to their country. The people who really deserve pity can not afford internet. we will fix the country and you can come visit again.

@Musavegana Mhuri - when someone fails you , it is because you give them that opportunity to fail you. I am not saying you are wrong. I think the time is now for the Zimbabweans outside the country to start THINKING in terms of solutions, we have depended on other people to knock sense on our leaders at the same time we have been too silent for our own good. Our first step should be to concerntrate on what we can do right not what others do wrong. WE are Zimbabweans we know how to love, we know that being hospitable is a part of us. We can stop pointing fingers and start acting for a better Zimbabwe.

SADC has failed us, In fact I can say they have made it worse for Zimbabwe. One organisation has failed to stand up to an old man and his corrupt ways of dealing.

I am British and I lived in Zimbabwe for only one year until 1999 but that year has stayed with me forever. My time in Zimbabwe inspired me and I now study and volunteer for human rights yet I still feel powerless and scared for those I left behind and cannot contact in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is the most beautiful country and you are the most beautiful people. Do not look to the international community to solve this situation! YOU are strong and powerful and you can bring change! Make the country what you want. Do not be dictated to by Mugabe or multi-national corporations! Keep fighting!!!

Is it not time to try something different, we have been barking up one tree and then another the same way, I don't see change, is there none smart enough to come out with a solution, I am not, but surely there is someone out there... is it you?, Maybe we need something better than a pertion, who are we demanding ears from, Who will come and help the UN? Lets stop kidding ourselves, we are on our on on this one and God is watching, we need to do the right thing and we all know what the right thing is, it's not the same with everyone, My pink is blue in Botswana, Don't allow the mouthy people to turn you against your brother and don't tolerate more than you should, don't be used you are better than that.

How do I help? Do I contact government here? I do know that Bush did honestly care about Africa. He gave more money than any other leader in the world. I don't think many here realize that. Do people donate...where... where would funds be used most effectively? I feel so badly for these people. Don't know how to help. God bless you. Dawn Greene @Zimbo in UK -

@Zimbo in UK - Don't be silly! They orchistrated the whole setup! When Mugabe leaves, and he will very soon, they will all rush in to "rebuild Zimbabwe". That's what they call the financial and political benefits they will gain.

I read all 48 comments, and all I can say is that you are all incurable romantics! Britain, the US and all others seek the riches of our country,and couldn't care a less about the people. As far as Mugabe and his cronies are concerned, never fear! Albeit after much bloodshed, they will grab the rest of the country's riches, and flee to some South American country. Then we can all go home.
