ISS Seminar in conjunction with Human Rights Watch

 

The Institute for Security Studies is pleased to host a seminar that will present the findings of a Human Rights Watch report on prospects for free and fair elections in Zimbabwe, which will be released publicly on 21 March 2005. The report is based on two recent missions to Zimbabwe. In addition to discussing Zimbabwe’s new electoral laws, the report analyzes the electoral environment, including instances of election-related intimidation, restrictions on freedom of association, assembly and information.

 

Speakers at the seminar will be:

• Tiseke Kasambala, Zimbabwe Researcher, Africa Division, Human Rights Watch

• Michael Clough, Africa Advocacy Director, Human Rights Watch

• Chaired by Chris Maroleng, Researcher, African Security Analysis Programme
