Unfortunately,
although
people
arrived
on
time,
we
could
not
fully
set
up
as
all
roads
leading
to
the
Zimbabwe
Embassy
were
closed
and
Vigil
co-ordinator
Patricia
Masamba
who
was
bringing
the
banners
and
posters
only
arrived
at
4pm.
We
however
took
the
opportunity
to
reflect
on
the
journey
travelled
this
year
and
cast
our
sights
into
2025.
Encouragingly,
Members
remain
resolute
and
unwavering
in
their
support
of
the
struggle.
Thanks

The
Restoration
of
Human
Rights
in
Zimbabwe
(ROHR) is
the
Vigil’s
partner
organisation
based
in
Zimbabwe.
ROHR
grew
out
of
the
need
for
the
Vigil
to
have
an
organisation
on
the
ground
in
Zimbabwe
which
reflected
the
Vigil’s
mission
statement
in
a
practical
way.
ROHR
in
the
UK
actively
fundraises
through
membership
subscriptions,
events,
sales
etc
to
support
the
activities
of
ROHR
in
Zimbabwe. -
The
Vigil’s
book
‘Zimbabwe
Emergency’ is
based
on
our
weekly
diaries.
It
records
how
events
in
Zimbabwe
have
unfolded
as
seen
by
the
diaspora
in
the
UK.
It
chronicles
the
economic
disintegration,
violence,
growing
oppression
and
political
manoeuvring
–
and
the
tragic
human
cost
involved. It
is
available
at
the
Vigil.
All
proceeds
go
to
the
Vigil
and
our
sister
organisation
the
Restoration
of
Human
Rights
in
Zimbabwe’s
work
in
Zimbabwe.
The
book
is
also
available
from
Amazon. -
