Litigation • Harrassment of journalists MISA Zimbabwe filed an application with the High Court for an order barring the police from arresting and harassing journalists following the inception of the COVID-19 regulations in March 2020. Impact High Court judge Justice Manzunzu ordered the police and other law enforcement agencies charged with enforcing the COVID-19 lockdown not to arrest, detain or interfere “in any unnecessary way” with the work of journalists. The number of arrests and attacks against journalists declined relatively following the court ruling. • Dissemination of critical information on COVID-19 MISA Zimbabwe approached the courts seeking an order to compel the government to release critical information on COVID-19. Impact The High Court ruled in MISA Zimbabwe’s favour and ordered the government to periodically release information in all languages recognised by the Constitution. 20
