"Zimbabwe court halts exhumations" April 09, 2011|Associated Press
HARARE, Zimbabwe — A court ordered militant supporters of President Robert Mugabe to stop exhuming hundreds of skeletons they say were the victims of colonial-era massacres, a project that critics say is stoking racial hatred in Zimbabwe.
The High Court in Bulawayo ruled that the group must immediately cease digging out human remains from an old mine shaft where officials have bused schoolchildren to view the remains as militants denounced whites and sang revolutionary songs....
Oh, I get it. All revolutions are bad now.
Judge Nicholas Mathonsi said the exhumations violated all international protocols on investigating suspected human rights violations and amounted to “interference or tampering with crime scenes.’’
Mugabe’s loyalists say the mass graves show how the country’s former rulers were guilty of human rights violations far outweighing any accusations against Mugabe’s supporters.
Which may be true but that was then and this is now.
