Government
of Zimbabwe assaults and arrests women's rights marchers
United States Government
December 01, 2006
On November
29, Zimbabwean police used violence to break up a peaceful demonstration
of Women of Zimbabwe
Arise (WOZA) and to arrest more than 70 WOZA members.
The United States
condemns the Zimbabwean government's brutal reaction to this peaceful
effort of Zimbabwean citizens to exercise their rights. We call
for the immediate release of those still detained, for access to
legal assistance, and for access to medical treatment for those
who were injured.
