<p>The Zimbabwean Government’s recent internet shutdown, and restriction on social
media, was a disturbing curtailing of freedom of expression. I summoned the Zimbabwean
Ambassador on 17 January to express our concern at the ongoing situation, urge the
government to investigate any cases of alleged human rights violations and to restore
access to the internet. I was pleased that the High Court of Zimbabwe ruled the shutdown
unconstitutional on 22 January.</p><p>On 30 January I spoke to Foreign Minister Moyo,
repeating our calls for an end to human rights violations and a full investigation.</p>
