"I have learnt with shock and dismay the conviction and subsequent
sentencing of six activists for watching videos on the North African
uprisings that led to the fall of dictatorships.
The conviction and sentencing of Antonette Choto, Munyaradzi Gwisai,
Tatenda Mombeyarara, Edson Chakuma, Hopewell Gumbo and Welcome Zimuto,
sets a wrong precedent and is not in tandem with democratic principles.While I respect the separation of powers and the liberty of the judiciary, the conviction of the six rights defenders shakes the very foundation of internationally accepted freedom to associate and engage. Zimbabwe has recorded gross human rights violations that have shaken the justice delivery system. As a woman leader who has been harassed and arrested before, I convey my solidarity to the six activists and especially to Antonette Choto.
May you be strong and find solace in the knowledge that as women leaders we are with you. The people of Zimbabwe know your progressive stance on human rights, justice and dignity for all. The people's struggle for real change - Let's finish it!!!"

Thus can were say there is democracy in Zimbabwe? people should have that freedom of expression, freedom to watch whatever you want and FREEDOM OF POLITICAL PARTICIPATION.
