31 Dec QUARTERLY POLITICAL VIOLENCE REPORT OCTOBER – DECEMBER 2013
The period under review saw a decline in levels of politically motivated human rights violations as compared to previous periods. In October 2012 312 incidents of human rights violations were recorded, a decline from the 389 cases witnessed during the month of September1. The Forum interviewed four victims of political violence in the month of October2. This reduction of violence incidents and reports could be owed to the finalisation of contentious elections that took place on 31 July. The political violence cases recorded were inferred to incidences of post election retribution, intra-party violence, as well as discrimination and the politicization of the distribution of farming inputs.
