The Human Rights Remedy App

 Hello good readers

You haven't heard from me since July. I have not been writing on contemporary human rights matters. This is because I have been working on developing a phone application in the area of human rights.

I am glad to announce to you that I have made the Human Rights Remedy mobile phone application. Compatible on both android and IOS devices. Before the year ends, depending on the availability of funds, the application will be available on Google playstore.

Among its functions are:

1. An option where you can access contacts of lawyers, per province in Zimbabwe. Every law firm registered and operating in Zimbabwe is available.

2. An option where you can access contacts of police across the country. Every police post, rural or urban is available. Again, its classified per province.

3. There is a section where you get to know your rights, as provided for in the Constitution of Zimbabwe and other pieces of legislation. It has sections where you get to be informed what to do when these rights have been violated.

4. There is a section where you can access contacts and addresses of organizations that can assist you for free with regards to how you can get a remedy. They offer free services.

5. There is a section/ a function which assists you with what you can say when arrested or interacting with the police. It informs you of what to say.

6. Another function, the Emergency Services, assists you when you comprehend an imminent threat to your rights. When you feel in danger, with two clicks, the Emergency Services assists you with quickly alerting any selected contacts with a template message such as "Im in danger".

7. It also has contacts of courts across Zimbabwe. From Magistrates, to the Constitutional court.

Our upgrade will have a recording option for evidentiary purposes. It will also have a location update option.

Those that want the application before its available on Playstore, get in touch with Courteney on +263777702167, via WhatsApp.


Here is an interface of the application:

A Lockdown arrest for publishing “fake” news: Legal Ramifications and a case of Human Rights Abuse. May 2020 Courteney T Mukoyi There is a widely circulated Charge Sheet of a man arrested for publishing “fake” news about Lockdown Extension. The man is being accused of “publishing or communicating a false statement prejudicial to the state” in terms of Section 31 of the Criminal Law Code. One does not need to be a legal puritan to notice that the charge points to a fishing expedition by the State, which we all hope that will lead to a catch of frogs.  A reading of both the facts and the law also shows that either the facts or the law or both suffer from lack of focus and particularity. The Charge Sheet states that the accused person (Lovemore) published a Press Statement document purported to be issued and signed by President Emmerson Mnangagwa headlined “ EXTENSION OF LOCKDOWN PERIOD BY 13 DAYS ONLY”. The accused person is said to have disseminated the false press statement...

Whether these roles by businesses are played much better from the pe...
