Mugabe ready to stand trial for alleged human rights abuses - Simon Khaya Moyo

Zanu PF members are ready to stand trial for alleged human rights abuses, however, only in Zimbabwe and not abroad, party spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo has said.

Khaya Moyo said there were no "untouchables" in Zimbabwe, but President Robert Mugabe who is protected against prosecution by the law.

Said  Khaya Moyo "It is only the President that cannot be taken to court. That is the law, but the rest of us are subject to trial for any crimes committed.

"We have court systems in Zimbabwe which are working well, actually, they are regarded as some of the best in the world.

"If people know of such characters in the party (who committed human rights crimes), why are they not reporting them to be dealt with by our courts? There are no untouchables. We have efficient, legal and professional court systems in Zimbabwe."

Mugabe has been pushing African ICC member states to pull out of the organisation citing its alleged bias against African leaders
