28 Dec STATE OF HUMAN RIGHTS 2016 – 2017 REPORT
The year 2016 witnessed a new wave of protesters following citizens’ engagement in social movements such as #Tajamuka/Sesijikile, #ThisFlag among others. As the protests against deteriorating economic conditions gained momentum, State agents increasingly resorted to the use of brute force, torture, abductions and arbitrary arrests as a means of intimidating, investigating and obtaining information or confessions from real or perceived offenders as well as to instill fear within the citizenry.
