Calling attention to human rights abuses in Zimbabwe.
Tsunga is a Zimbabwean lawyer and human rights activist, Chairman of the Zimbabwe Human Rights Association, Executive Director of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, and a trustee of the radio station Voice of the People (VOP), which produces independent programs on political issues. He has been threatened and harassed on several occasions for criticising Zimbabwe's legal system and calling attention to human rights abuses. In January 2006, he and five other VOP trustees were arrested and charged with broadcasting without a license. While he has since been released on bail, Tsunga faces two years in prison if convicted.
