Glen View violence: Latest update
Youth Forum
June 01, 2011

The police have descended heavily on Glen View 3 residents and business people. Many residents and vendors have ran away from their residences and businesses as the police are said to be picking up everyone and anyone they come across at and near the shopping centre.

According to reports from Glen View, police officers continue to descend upon Glen View in countless trucks picking up vendors and other ordinary citizens from around the shopping centre. Most vendors have left their wares at the shopping centre fearing arrest.

The Youth Forum condemns all forms of violence including the violence that led to the death of inspector Petros Mutedza. We urge the police to bring the culprits to book, this should, however, be done in a professional and ethical manner.

The Youth Forum takes this opportunity to convey its condolences to the Mutedza family, friends, the police force and the nation at large at this loss of a beloved family man, workmate and law enforcing agent. We urge the public to respect the lives of security officers and demand that the police do likewise, respect all lives. We also call upon the uniformed forces to restrain itself as it investigates this unwanted death of a fellow officer.
