Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) led by Nelson Chamisa has said the police is selectively applying the law after the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) issued a list of conditions to be met by the party at its rally scheduled for the 20th of February.<\/p>\n

ZRP authorised the party to hold its rally to launch its campaign for the March 26 by-elections but listed a set of rules to be observed by the party. In response, the party said:<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwe Police have cleared our star rally scheduled for Sunday 20 February 2022 but with unconstitutional clauses in the approval letter. This selective application of the law is regrettable & unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

Party national spokesperson, advocate Fadzayi Mahere said the ZRP was not being fair. Said Mahere:<\/p>\n

Dear @PoliceZimbabwe,<\/p>\n

Do the restrictions you\u2019ve imposed on @CCCZimbabwe apply to @edmnangagwa or are some animals more equal than others? We need new leaders!<\/p>\n

There is one rule for them and another rule for us. These conditions are unconstitutional & violate our right to equality before the law. Why were these restrictions not placed on @ZANUPF_Official & @OurMDCT. The regime is scared stiff!<\/p>\n

Sec 67 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe gives citizens the right to support any political cause, individually or in groups. Why ban slogans at a rally? Why ban singing? Why ban transport? @ZECzim this is what we mean when we say the playing field is not free or fair!<\/p>\n

They were allowed to sing, chant slogans, convoy vehicles & gather in their thousands but they say @CCCZimbabwe can\u2019t?! @PoliceZimbabwe are you aware that s68 of the Constitution obliges you to be substantively fair on all your administrative decision making?<\/p>\n
