Zimbabweans have been granted permission to hold a demonstration against President Emmerson Mnangagwa upon his arrival at John. F. Kennedy international airport ahead of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meeting.
Mnangagwa left Harare Monday evening and is expected to arrive in New York on the 20th of September.
Chasi wants the international community to intervene and arrest Mnangagwa for human rights violations such as rape and torture.
“We kindly request to be allowed to do peaceful protest with ‘Welcome’ placards upon arrival of Zimbabwe Head of State-President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa at JFK International Airport and a procession to United Nations General Headquarters for 77 Ordinary Session to be held from the 13 till the 27th of September 2022,” wrote Chasi.

“Gross violation of human rights, failure to uphold the rule of law and defeating the course of justice is detrimental to us Zimbabweans during the peaceful protest and procession we will be joined in solidarity by all human rights, political activists, etc.”
