Madhuku moved to Stodart Police Station
National Constitutional Assembly (NCA)
November 09, 2005

The NCA is extremely disturbed by the continued detention by state security forces of its National Chairperson Lovemore Madhuku since yesterday. Last night he was transferred from Harare Central Police Station to the infamous Stodart Police Station in Mbare.

The Chitungwiza Mayor Misheck Shoko has since been dragged in and he is being held at Mbare Police Station after having spent the day at Harare Central Police Station. Three more NCA were picked-up in Chitungwiza yesterday.

The NCA field officer for Manicaland Bernard Dube was picked-up yesterday when he had gone to Mutare Central Police Station to give food to NCA members there who were arrested on Saturday.

Besides the eight members who were released yesterday from Harare Central Police Station, all other NCA members remain in police detention since Saturday nation wide.

These people's continued detention is a violation of their freedom. We urge the state security to release them as a matter of urgency. These people have not committed any crime that warrants such ill-treatment. If the state security thinks it has a genuine against these Zimbabweans they should take them to court.

This is just a well calculated act of intimidation coming after the successful staging of nationwide peaceful demonstrations on Saturday calling for a democratic constitution that can help bring democracy and prosperity to Zimbabwe.

Despite all these intimidations, the NCA remain focused towards fighting for a democratic constitution.
