Two
student leaders arrested
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
March 30, 2007
Two female student leaders were arrested
yesterday during the raid at the Movement for Democratic Change
(MDC) Headquaters, Harvest House. Maureen Kademaunga, who is the
University of Zimbabwe (UZ) Student Representative Council Secretary
General and ZINASU general councillor and Kudzai Mupazvirihwo, the
spokesperson of the UZ student representative council are detained
at the notorious Harare Central Police Station. They were set to
attend the press conference which was scheduled to be addressed
by the President of the MDC, Mr. Morgan Tsvangirai . Tsvangirai
was also arrested for the second time this month. He was later released
without any charge.
The continued hooliganisation and thuggerisation
of the politics in Zimbabwe further exposes Mugabe as an autocratic
leader presiding over an authoritarian regime. However, some political
science students view the move by the police and the military as
a plot to bring down Mugabe and expose their anger and frustration
over the despotic leader's continued rule. Mugabe is in Tanzania
attending an extra ordinary SADC summit and Zimbabwe is high on
the agenda. He is expected to defend the 11 March 2007 barbaric
acts by the youth militia and para military police aganist a backdrop
of further reign of terror as evidenced by unbrided abductions of
opposition activists, state sponsored petrol bombings, raids of
opposition and labour unions offices and arrests of innocent civilians.
