"Mr President, the current situation in Zimbabwe is appalling and unacceptable. Nearly 700 people were victims of the 2005 Operation Murambatsvina forced evictions. Now 20 000 citizens face forced evictions from the Hatcliffe Extension near Harare.
The government has imposed unaffordable lease renewal fees on the people who were evicted, and has failed to consult with citizens or to inform them of the upcoming regulations. Operation Garikai intended to assist those who were affected by the 2005 evictions is merely a continuation of the same human rights abuses.
I join in insisting that Zimbabwe halt these evictions of citizens in the Harare region. I urge the government of Zimbabwe to immediately amend Operation Garikai to comply with all obligations under international and human rights law.
I ask the Commission to raise this issue as a matter of urgency with the government of Zimbabwe."@en1
