The forcible eviction of 700,000 people from slums in Zimbabwe in 2005 was “a crime against humanity”, according to independent legal opinion. The human rights groups that sought the legal advice, say the issue could now be referred to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
Zimbabwe’s government called Operation Murambatsvina an urban clean-up campaign to remove illegal structures.
But the United Nations condemned the demolitions of shops and homes.
The Geneva-based Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions and another group, Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, sought independent legal opinion.
This concluded that the evictions in Zimbabwe were a widespread and systematic attack against a civilian population, as part of state policy.
“What happened in Zimbabwe was akin in magnitude to the Asian tsunami,” Zimbabwean human rights lawyer Alec Muchadehma told reporters in The Hague. (…)
In recent years, millions of Zimbabweans have left the country as it grapples with runaway inflation, high unemployment and food shortages.
