Heal Zimbabwe Trust has reported that from late March to April 1 this year a total of 46 perpetrators of violence (40 males and 6 females) have been recorded.
Heal Zimbabwe said it observed that the perpetrators multiplied almost by two compared to 28 perpetrators which were recorded in the previous week.
"Heal Zimbabwe recorded five categories of perpetrators who were involved in the human rights violations. These include ZANU PF leadership, Traditional leaders, Councillors, War veterans and soldiers," said the trust.
"ZANU PF leadership recorded the highest number of perpetrators with 56.5% (26 out of 46), largely ward chairpersons, and ordinary party members. Traditional leaders were second with 33% (15 perpetrators) followed by Councillors which recorded 7% (3 perpetrators)."
The trust said war veterans and soldiers recorded the least with 2% each (1 perpetrator).
"Victims varied from ordinary community members, opposition supporters and human right defenders," said the trust.
