PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa<\/a> and his delegation to the UN General Assembly in New York next week, will face angry protests from Zimbabweans based in the US over the deteriorating rights situation in the country.<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa\u2019s situation has been worsened by the shock disappearance of a medical doctor Peter Magombeyi who was reportedly seized by suspected State security agents on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Magombeyi, who is acting president of the Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association, had been leading negotiations with government for better working conditions for health workers.<\/p>\n

The protests are being organised by the MDC\u2019s US Chapter as well as Zimbabweans based in Canada.<\/p>\n

According to the MDC provincial chairperson for Canada and America, Tawanda Dzvokora, the call to action has been organised over the deteriorating human rights situation in the country.<\/p>\n

The protests will be staged under the title, #Free Zimbabwe World Awareness Campaign beginning 21 September at the UN headquarters.<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa is expected to deliver his second ever speech at the UN General Assembly sometime next week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are demonstrating against massive human rights abuses by Zanu PF on our political and civic leaders and Zimbabweans in general.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to tell the world that contrary to what Mnangagwa will be preaching at the UN and what he has been telling the world that he is a leader that listens to his people, a new dispensation leader, none of that is true as the man has actually closed the democratic space for Zimbabweans,\u201d said Dzvokora in an interview on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Dzvokora vowed to tell the world how innocent Zimbabweans are being murdered in broad daylight, the arrests and treason charges being preferred on those opposed to the Zanu PF government.<\/p>\n

Government says it is not responsible for the abduction of the doctors\u2019 union leader alleging these were the works of a \u2018third force\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
