Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa has signed into law a Bill that will punish citizens who are deemed unpatriotic and those who advocate for sanctions against the country.
President Mnangagwa’s decision to put his signature on the Criminal (Codification and Reform) Bill, widely known as the Patriotic Bill, on Friday was immediately condemned by Western countries as draconian.
