Zimbabwe police instructed not to ban opposition party campaign rallies: Zimbabwean police have been instructed to stop blocking opposition campaign rallies, according to a leaked internal memorandum.
The directive came after police banned five Citizens Coalition for Change rallies last week claiming the venues were already booked by the ruling Zanu-PF party or citing public safety concerns.
“The president has on numerous occasions also preached the gospel of peace and tolerance ahead of the impending elections. It is against this background that commanders are urged to ensure that all the processes relating to elections are done peacefully and in accordance with the provisions of the Electoral Act and Maintenance of Peace and Order Act ,” it said.
