Harassing opposition politicians is unlawful

In the most undemocratic regimes in Africa, where the rule of law and good governance are hardly respected, opposition politicians are often subjected to harrowing harassment and intimidation by the party in power. Such outdated tactics are particularly applied when the opposition groups are seen to be enjoying popular support and riding on high moral ground relative to the ruling dictatorship.

Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) leaders have been subjected to this kind of treatment for quite some time now by the Jubilee administration.
