Arnold Tsunga was the Director of the Africa Regional Programme of the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) until 2020.
Tsunga has helped document human rights abuses in Zimbabwe and brought them to the attention of the international community.
The ZLHR now plays a major role in defending against sustained attacks on the rule of law and human rights in Zimbabwe and in the struggle against impunity in the Southern African region.
He faced criminal charges of broadcasting on the radio without a license and went on trial on September 25, 2006, in Zimbabwe.
The case is widely viewed as the many that the regime in Zimbabwe uses to intimidate human rights lawyers from doing their work.
