Strikes and Protests 2007/8 - Students
ZINASU president arrested with 40 other students
Zimbabwe National
Students Union (ZINASU)
February 13, 2007
The Zimbabwe National
Students Union (ZINASU) president Promise Mkwananzi and forty other
students from the Harare Polytechnic College have been today, the
13th of February 2007, arrested and detained at the Harare Central
Police station for holding a General Meeting.
The agenda was on issues of the ever deteriorating standards of
education, the astronomical hikes in tuition fees and broader socio-economic
and political pandemonium in Zimbabwe. More than 600 innocent, unarmed
and hungry students who had gathered on campus for the Extra-ordinary
General Meeting, were violently and brutally dispersed by the ruthless
riot police and the non uniformed state security agents.
The General Meeting
comes 11 days after the National Executive Council had an urgent
meeting and gave the Government of Zimbabwe an ultimatum with clearly
outlined demands to be addressed by TODAY the 13 th of February
2007. Students in Zimbabwe have thus resolved to go on class boycotts
starting today the 13th February 2007.
