Police dismiss Zim newspaper a

GABORONE - The Botswana Police Service has dismissed allegations that appeared in the online edition of The Zimbabwean newspaper headlined 6000 Zimbabweans beaten in Botswana.

A news release says the police service dismisses the article in its entirety with contempt it deserves, as it has no substance but is only meant to tarnish cordial relationship that exists between Botswana and Zimbabwe.

The release states that the police service uphold the law and value human rights, saying it is hallucination to suggest that xenophobia-driven brutalities committed against Zimbabweans in Botswana are orchestrated by the members of the police service and the traditional chiefs.

The release points out that Botswana is a sovereign state that has its own laws that need to be respected by all who visit and reside in it.

In addition, it says the Botswana Police Services has a statutory function to apprehend offenders and bring them to justice.

It says it is not true that the Special Support Group (SGG) members dealing with cases of violence are semi-literate as implied by the reporter.

The SSG are members of the Botswana Police Services and satisfied the minimum entry qualifications at the time they joined.

All members of the Botswana Police Services are compelled to adhere to the ethics of a professional police service. We in the Botswana Police Services are committed to providing a professional law enforcement service.
