Job Sikhala invited to speak at global human rights summit

Zim Now Writer

Former Zengeza West legislator, who is the National Democratic Working Group facilitator and chair, Job Sikhala, has been invited to speak at the Geneva Summit on Human Rights and Democracy.

The conference is a major gathering that spotlights urgent human rights situations that require global attention.

Sikhala, who spent 595 days in pre-trial detention, is currently out of the country where he is seeking medical attention.

The politician cut ties with the Citizens Coalition for Change following its alleged infiltration that also led to then leader Nelson Chamisa abandoning the political movement.

“Hon Advocate Job Sikhala has been invited to speak on his experience during his incarceration for a period of almost two years and the human rights situation in Zimbabwe as it obtains today,” NDWG spokesperson Darlington Chigwena in a statement.

Other human rights activists that include Gambian women rights campaigner, Fatou Baldeh, and exiled Cuban art historian, writer and human rights activist Carolina Barrero, among others are set to join Sikhala on stage
