Imprisoned Zimbabwean human rights advocate Justina Mukoko needs your help today. She and more than 30 other civil leaders have been imprisoned in Chikurubi Maximum Prison since December - and have been tortured by Zimbabwean security forces. Their health is in jeopardy, as is democracy and rule of law in Zimbabwe. Act today to urge Zimbabwean officials to release these prisoners of conscience so they can help rebuild their shattered nation.

As you know, the health and human rights situation in Zimbabwe has deteriorated sharply in recent months. PHR’s groundbreaking report on Zimbabwe implicates President Mugabe’s regime in the systematic violation of a wide range of human rights, including the rights to life, health, food, water and work. The country needs all hands to rebuild - including these imprisoned leaders, who have been key to the struggle for human rights in Zimbabwe.

Justina’s health is in jeopardy. She needs medical attention immediately. Take two minutes today: it could save her life and give hope to Zimbabwe at a dark time.

Sincerely,

Frank Donaghue
Chief Executive Officer
