ZRP and Ministry of lands defy High Court ruling, continue to evict villagers from Arnold Farm

The Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights have revealed that members of the Zimbabwe Republic Police and officials from the Ministry of Lands have continued evicting Manzou villagers from Arnold Farm. The police and the ministry officials are in contempt of court as they have defied an interdict order granted on Friday 24 March 2017 by High Court Judge Justice Felistus Chatukuta barring them from evicting the villagers and from demolishing their homestead. The villagers are reportedly being removed to pave way for the First Lady Grace Mugabe

The Zimbabwe lawyers for Human Rights have filed an urgent chamber application on behalf of the villagers to stop the evictions and demolitions.
