One of the top Lawyers in Bulawayo and a member of Abammeli Human Rights Lawyers Network Sindiso Shepherd Mazibisa says they (AHRLN) have been instructed by the Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) Veterans Trust to challenge chaotic, unscientific and uncoordinated and clearly unlawful exhumations of bodies by the fallen heroes trust led by one George Rutanhire.

Case 880-11 has already been filed at the Bulawayo High Court.

The Fallen Heroes of Zimbabwe Trust, a previously little known group of Mugabe party loyalists, last month launched a program to exhume skeletons in the mine shaft in northeastern Zimbabwe, saying the country's former rulers were guilty of human rights violations that far outweigh any accusations of rights abuses leveled against Mugabe's party and his police and military.
