By a Correspondent BRISTOL-British Labour MP Kate Hoey will address activists and human rights campaigners in Bristol on Saturday 26 May protesting against the deteriorating situation in Zimbabwe. "We are glad to hear Kate will join us. She has been tremendous and one of the leading advocate on Zimbabwe issues both in Parliament and House of Commons and as Zimbabweans we're moved by her support," said BZA Chair Forward Maisokwadzo. "Kate is action driven so we are pleased to have her on this historic day in Bristol. She pushes the pressure points on all ends including on Tony Blair to take a hard stance against South Africa's failure to condemn Zimbabwe," he said. Mr Maisokwadzo also welcomed the spirit of solidarity shown by British trade union friends, Bristol Vigil team and ACTSA, the successor to the Anti-Apartheid Movement, which is campaigning hard against human rights abuses in Zimbabwe and the Bristol vigil team. Ms Hoey, the MP for Vauxhall and Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Committee on Zimbabwe, secretly visited Zimbabwe in 2005 when President Robert Mugabe was bulldozing "illegal structures" in poor townships, a campaign that wrecked the homes or livelihoods of up to a million people. Her accounts of the suffering angered the regime. The speakers will include Kat Stark Convenor of NUS, Alois Phiri, Free Zimbabwe Youth and ACTSA representatives. The event will take place at Bristol Hippodrome from 11-3pm. | ||||||||
