HARARE - Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights is challenging the government in the High Court in an attempt to repeal a new law.
In April, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa signed the Private Voluntary Organisation Bill into law.
The legal body says the PVO law will criminalise legitimate developmental human rights work.
The PVO Act allows the government to monitor the operations of all civil society organisations and NGOs and their funding sources.
Speaking in parliament recently, Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi said the law aims to curb NGOs involved in political activities.
