The Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Amendment Bill 2022,[1][2] commonly known as the Patriotic Bill is a Zimbabwean law that criminalises damaging the national interest of the country or critique of the Government of Zimbabwe.[3][4]
The bill became law on May 31, 2023.[3] The ruling ZANU-PF government said that the law is modelled around the United States' Logan Act.[4] Legal scholars criticised the law for being "ambiguously worded, complicated, and difficult to understand."[2] Opposition party Citizens Coalition for Change stated that the law's introduction signalled "a full-blown dictatorship run by a regime worse than Robert Mugabe".[2]
Consequences for breaking the law include removal of citizenship and death.[4]
