HARARE — Prominent human rights lawyer Douglas Coltart has broken his silence regarding his nationality, categorically stating that he holds no foreign passport and is not entitled to British citizenship. The clarification comes amid a storm of political hostility following a violent encounter at a public hearing last week.

A disturbing scandal has erupted across the continent, forcing an urgent reckoning with exploitation, consent, and power in the digital age. At the centre of the storm is Dmitry Baryshev, a Russian national whose alleged conduct has sparked outrage in Ghana, Kenya, and beyond.
