ZimRights' director Okay Machisa has accused government of Zimbabwe of not being genuine in probing the disapparance of the democracy activist and journalist Itai Dzamara.
Dzamara has been missing for more than a year now and the government has not produced any leads to his where about.
Among organisations blaming the government is the Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
Machisa said there has not been any genuine efforts by the government in investigating the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, despite government reporting that it was working closely with the Dzamara family and his lawyers.
Machisa also lambasted the government for celebrating the inauguration of a new Constitution at the council while back home the government was shredding the same charter through Constitutional Amendment Bill Number 1 which he said was going to take away safeguards for an independent judiciary.
