New Anglican Bishop Calls For Sanctions Removal, Condemns Govt's Response To Protests

Newly installed Bishop of Harare, the Rt Revd Dr Farai Mutamiri, said that economic sanctions against Zimbabwe should be lifted.

Said Mutamiri:

Sanctions have to be removed because they are hurting the ordinary citizens of Zimbabwe.

Mutamiri also said the use of live ammunition and violence in response to protests is unacceptable. Said Mutamiri:

The situation was and is unacceptable in a democratic nation like Zimbabwe. As a Church we don’t condone violence and at the same time we are also against the use of force and live ammunition to silence or deal with demonstrators, that is if reports we are getting is anything to go by.
