Second Free Zimbabwe Global Protest – London Tues 21st February

Dear Vigil Supporters

The second protest of the new 21st Movement – Free Zimbabwe Global Protest is taking place on Tuesday 21st February (Mugabe’s birthday) 12 – 4.30 pm. The protest is organized by the MDC in the diaspora who plan to hold demonstrations on the 21st of every month. Meet at the Zimbabwe Embassy at 12 noon. The protest will move to the South African High Commission at 2 pm.

South Africa is being targeted in the hope of getting President Zuma to get Mugabe to honour the GPA.

Although the MDC External Assemblies are the initiators of the protests, the Vigil and other friends of Zimbabwe are invited to take part.

The protest very much ties in with the Vigil’s aims, most recently expressed in our new initiative the monthly Zimbabwe Action Forum which is being held on the first Saturday of each month after the Vigil. The MDC was represented at the first forum. The next one is to be held on 3rd March (venue details on www.zimvigil.co.uk). There is a strong feeling that real change will come from the diaspora as nothing seems to be happening in Zimbabwe and the GNU seems paralysed.

PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT THE PROTEST.

Zimbabwe Vigil Co-ordinators
The Vigil, outside the Zimbabwe Embassy, 429 Strand, London, takes place every Saturday from 14.00 to 18.00 to protest against gross violations of human rights in Zimbabwe. The Vigil which started in October 2002 will continue until internationally-monitored, free and fair elections are held in Zimbabwe. http://www.zimvigil.co.uk
