The government of Zimbabwe is reportedly reviewing the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA), in the wake of intense criticism and condemnation of Zimbabwe's dented human rights record and suppression of freedom of expression, according to an alert from the Media Institute of Southern Africa. This comes hard on the heels of a damning report by the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR), which expressed concern over the suppression of fundamental rights and liberties through laws such as AIPPA, the Public Order and Security Act (POSA) and the Broadcasting Services Act (BSA).
