ZINASU statement on the arrest of Dr. Madhuku
Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU)
November 01, 2006

As the vampire regime of thugs and morons continues with violationg people`s rights with immunity, Zimbabwe today witnessed the arrest of Dr Lovemore Madhuku, the National Constitutional Assembly ( NCA) Chairman at the parliament of Zimbabwe.The police ordered the other participants to go and remained with Dr Madhuku whom they have since illegally detained.

Zimbbawe National Students Union (ZINASU) condenms the arrest and possible torture of Dr Madhuku and will be going to the streets soon in protest of Dr Madhuku`s arrest.ZINASU is disturbed at the trend which human rights abuses are taking in Zimbabwe.Barely three days after arresting more than fourty students in Bulawayo and releasing them on bail pending their appearence for trial on the 15th of november 2006,some of the arrested students were later suspended for putting the names of their colleges into disrepute.Four of the University of Zimbabwe members of the Students Executive Council were suspended and the UZ President spent two nights in police cells for reasons yet to be established.Recently the police in connivance with the dreaded youth militia brutally crushed the lawful and legitimate Zimbawe Congress of Trade Unions protests.

We reaffirm our commitment to fight this tyranny to the bitter end and express our profound solidarity with Dr Madhuku.We want to remind ZANU PF ( ruling or ruining party) that this is the same Union (ZINASU) well known for its reckless but not foolish bravery and with the propensity to fight at a relentless capacity.We can safely confirm that the on going students protest are continuing and increaisng in capacity.A massive national class boycott will soon be called and therefter our demonstrations will take a national scale and outlook until this evil regime yields to the demands of the sovereign people of Zimbabwe,students included.

Promise Mkwananzi
ZINASU President
