The Decision, which adds 37 further persons to the list and, for the first time, four economic entities, follows the violence organised and committed by the Zimbabwean authorities during the presidential election campaign in 2008, which turned the election into a denial of democracy.
See otsus, millega lisatakse nimekirja 37 uut isikut ja esmakordselt ka neli majandusüksust, järgneb Zimbabwe võimude poolt 2008. aasta presidendivalimiste kampaania ajal korraldatud ja toimepandud vägivallaktidele, mille tulemusel neist valimistest kujunes demokraatia eitamine.
