Subject: OFFICIAL NOTICE OF PROHIBITION OF GALZ FROM ZIMBABWE GOVERNMENT Date: Mon, 29 Jul 96 19:08 GMT+0200 From: Stephen Van Breda Harare : Zimbabwe 29th July 1996. Dear Friends, Below is a copy of the Notice of Prohibition delivered to the Interim Administrator late this afternoon. It is interesting to note that the notice was on a plain piece of paper with no official stamps or even a date ! We have been unable to clarify what section 17 refers to and unfortunately the notice was delivered late in the afternoon - too late to contact the GALZ attorneys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE OF PROHIBITION TO 1 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ZIMBABWE INTERNATIONAL BOOKFAIR JULIAS NYERERE WAY HARARE 2 GAYS AND LESBIAN ASSOCIATION OF ZIMBABWE (GALZ) 73 QUORN AVENUE MOUNT PLEASANT HARARE In terms of Section 17 (1) of the Censorship and Entertainments Control Act CAP 10:04 the Board of Censors in consultation with the Secretary from Home Affairs has made the following Prohibition Order : "The Gays and Lesbian Association of Zimbabwe (GALZ) is prohibited from establishing a stand or exhibiting at the Zimbabwe International Book Fair to be held at Harare from July 30 to August 3, 1996.
