Court papers submitted by the lawyers group say police and army officers assaulted Lucia Masvondo, 26, while she was cooking food in her yard.
The lawsuit argues the lockdown regulations violate Zimbabwe’s constitution and should be annulled.
Kumbirai Mafunda of the lawyers group said Masvondo’s case was one of a growing number of alleged abuses by security forces during the lockdown.
“She suffered some wounds after some state agencies set a dog upon her when she was preparing a meal outside her home in Karoi,” Mafunda said.
“In Bulawayo, our lawyers are intervening in a case where someone was reportedly assaulted by the police and died.”
Zimbabwe police refused any immediate comment on the Masvondo case but acknowledged they were investigating it.
