Dear friend,

Robert Mugabe's brutal treatment of his political opponents in Zimbabwe is tearing his country apart. Would you sign our petition to enforce tougher, targeted sanctions against his regime to force him to respect human rights?


Sign the Petition
In the last few days, Zimbabwe has plunged further into crisis, with key democratic activists beaten by their government. Click below to sign the petition calling for stronger, targeted sanctions on Zimbabwe's leaders:

On Sunday, while boarding a plane to an international meeting, Zimbabwe's democratic opposition spokesman was beaten so severely that he lost an eye. Last week, opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai was arrested and beaten for attending a protest prayer vigil. Other democratic activists in Zimbabwe are under a terrible threat, with many still held in prison.

We can't let this moment of international attention pass without pressing for effective action. We intend to deliver our petition by the end of the week. If Europe and neighbouring South Africa (Zimbabwe's largest trading partners) threaten tougher sanctions, Mugabe will be forced to stop his attacks. Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Nobel Peace Prize winner from South Africa, is already calling on his country and others to take action. Click below to join him in calling for a response:

Targeted sanctions (like freezing President Mugabe's assets in foreign banks) will not hurt ordinary Zimbabweans, and quick action now could prevent a catastrophe. And beyond this critical moment, standing in solidarity with the pro-democracy and human rights activists around the world is a first step towards creating the kind of world we want to live in.

Zimbabwe is dangerously far along the road to tyranny and state collapse. It is time to draw the line.

With hope,

Ben, Hannah, Galit, Ricken, and the Avaaz team


I got this email the other day, please sign it

I have signed the petition. That man is an evil tyrant who has destroyed the wealth of Rhodesia and who has killed many good people for his own selfish gain.

Signing a petitition means nothing more to me than drawing pictures on a piece of paper , if you show it to your parents they will be proud of you, show it to anybody else and if you are not artistically inclined, will make polite noises and then just ignore it.

'Peacefull' protestations are only effective if they are an intent to declare real war and body mutilation in the process.Because war is all that will take out Mugabe. Now I have a plan, I have planted three billion barrels of oil that I obtained illegaly fron Iraq, I am about to find it........who is with me....I also scatterred evidence aroubnd Zimbabwe that makes it seem like there are other motherloads of oill around Zimbabwe.

Lets unite with the Usa to take out weapons of mass destruction out of Zimbabwwe....oil is one of the major weapons of mass destruction that control the world, by its very need by the world...to need it
