Restoration Of Human Rights International Zimbabwe Chapter media statement

The Restoration Of Human Right International is arguably amongst some of the fast growing human rights groups advocating for the protection of human rights and respect for the rule of law particularly in Zimbabwe and the world in general.  

The Restoration Of Human Rights International currently has operational chapters throughout the United Kingdom and all provinces of Zimbabwe and new chapters are being set up in South Africa, Botswana and Australia.

With the organisation beginning to realise massive recognition for its efforts to fight for the restoration of human rights to the downtrodden Zimbabwean populace, we as ROHR Zimbabwe Chapter are extremely disappointed with damning media reports that seek to distract our focus in the fight to bring sanity in the respect of human rights in our country.

Latest media reports run an unfounded issue that the Restoration Of Human Rights Zimbabwe Charter was or is in a state of crisis that has warranted the founding President of the organisation Mr Ephraim Tapa to rush into the country to convene a special meeting described as a "kangaroo meeting" by the media to rescue the organisation.

The facts of the matter remain that the entire article about the happenings inside ROHR Zimbabwe are a falsehood founded on information supplied to the media houses by disgruntled sources within or without the organisation bent on wanting to fight for personal glories at the expense of the entire organisation and consequently the fight for human rights protection in the country.

Contrary to all the media reports, ROHR Zimbabwe held its quarterly National Executive Meeting in the CBD of Gweru on Saturday June 18 as highlighted, where on amongst many other resolutions, a resolution to exclude two members of the ROHR Zimbabwe Charter was reached.

The two who incidentally failed to attend the meeting were ceremonially dismissed from the ROHR Zimbabwe chapter on purely disciplinary issues which ranged from lack of accountability to charges of an immoral nature in the course of executing their ROHR duties.

With a primary focus of attaining the highest possible standards of responsibility and outright dignity as human rights defenders, ROHR Zimbabwe remains unapologetic in excluding the said two members from the organisation and indeed as advised to them wish them well in their future human rights advocacy endeavors outside of ROHR as they are indeed experienced and dedicated human rights defenders in their own capacity.

As resolved in the National Executive Meeting
