Abductions are a crime against humanity: ZLHR

ZIMBABWE has been urged to consider establishing a national missing persons mechanism, which will include truth seeking, justice and reconciliation processes to bring closure to victims of enforced disappearance.

The country yesterday joined the rest of the world in commemorating the International Day of Enforced Disappearances.

Zimbabwe Red Cross Society (ZRCS) secretary-general Elias Hwenga said: “We call on authorities to consider establishing national missing persons’ mechanisms, and include the question of missing persons in truth-seeking, justice and reconciliation processes.”
