MDC Southend Anti Deportation Demo 28/07/2011

MDC Southend On Sea, in conjunction with MDC  South East District calls for a massive demonstration against the government's resumption of forced deportations of Zimbabwean refugees.The peaceful demonstration has been cleared by Essex Police. The demonstration will be held in front of: 


Southend Civic Centre,
Victoria Avenue, 
SS2 6ER


All interested parties and stake holders are welcome and should unite for a worthy cause.The demonstration will start at approximately 1330 and end at 1600hours with the signing of a petition to be handed to the two local members of parliament Mr James Duddridge and David Amess.We also expect the same petition to be copied to various government departments and Ministries.

United Kingdom has decided to deport Zimbabwean refugees when the European Union states that, it observes Zimbabwe as a country where human rights are not fully respected. Zimbabwe has failed to upheld the rule of law. The Robert Mugabe regime continues to imped on administration of justice, has repeatedly failed to hold free and fair elections, the free flow of information and the protection of constitutional rights and freedom in Zimbabwe.

Most of the refugees who are bound to be deported will face death, or inhuman degrading treatment in Zimbabwe. This has also been ill timed as Zimbabwe is bracing towards another gruesome general election.
