Former Finance Minister Tendai Biti was arrested in Mutare with several activists while organizing a rally opposing proposed constitutional changes in Zimbabwe.
選挙権は有権者から議会に移し,エマーソン・マンナガグワ大統領が2030年まで政権を維持できる可能性がある.
The reforms would extend the presidential term from five to seven years and shift election authority from voters to parliament, potentially allowing President Emmerson Mnangagwa to remain in power until 2030.
当局は起訴もビティの現状も確認していないため,人権団体に懸念を寄せている.
Authorities have not confirmed charges or Biti’s current status, sparking concern among rights groups.
憲法擁護者フォーラムと野党指導者は,この変更を非民主的だと非難し,現職大統領に遡及的に利益をもたらすことはできないと主張している.
The Constitution Defenders Forum and opposition leaders condemn the changes as undemocratic and argue they cannot retroactively benefit the sitting president.
逮捕は政治緊張が高まっており,脅迫の報告があり,提案された修正案に対する法的挑戦が増加しています.
The arrest occurs amid rising political tensions, reports of intimidation, and growing calls for legal challenges to the proposed amendments.
