Human
rights lawyer threatened with death
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
June 29, 2007
A prominent
lawyer, Mr. Otto Saki, who is employed with Zimbabwe
Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), has been threatened with death
by the state agents for his continued determination in providing
legal expertise to Human Rights activists. Otto has been receiving
mysterious threatening calls everytime he takes up a case on activists
who have fallen victim of ZANU PF babaric and ruthless arrests,
assaults and violent torture.
This has been recently
evidenced by assaults and torture on Beloved Chiweshe; ZINASU Secretary
General and Munjodzi Mutandiri; former students union president,
by state agents who were demanding specific details on Otto's whereabouts.
Beloved was severly tortured and forced to reveal information leading
to the capture of Otto.
However, ZINASU condemns
in its strongest terms, the continued harrasments, abductions, tortures
of Human Rights activists.
