Zimbabwe to sue European Council for imposing sanctions: Tomana

The Attorney General, Johannes Tomana says Zimbabwe government will soon file a court application with the European Union Court of Justice suing the European Council for allegedly imposing illegal sanctions on Zimbabwe.

In response to Attorney General Tomana's request for the European Council to justify grounds for imposing the so called restrictive measures against Zimbabwe, head of EU cabinet, Mr. Frans van Daele remained adamant that the illegal sanctions are justified citing that they were published in the official journal of the European Union.

Attorney General Tomana said the response by the EU does not hold water as it only confirms the suspicion by government that due process was not done as the European Council failed to comply by their rule of law to serve the targeted victims with letters of notification at their respective addresses.

Mr. Tomana said by also failing to prove their statement of reason, Zimbabwe will go ahead and file its case with the European Court of Justice.

The AG said he strongly believes that with faith, like any other countries that had their case heard in the EU chambers, Zimbabwe has a genuine case to advocate for the unconditional removal of illegal sanctions imposed by the West.
