Student
leader finally released, badly tortured
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
August 10, 2007
National
Univesity of Science and Technology
(NUST) students union president, Clever Bere appeared today before
the magistrates courts and has been further remanded to the 3rd
of September on bail. Clever was on Monday 6 August 2007 arrested
in the city of Bulawayo, dragged on handcuffs all the way to Bulawayo
Central Police Station and detained for unclear charges. A lawyer
from Zimbabwe
Lawyers for Human Rights effectively pressured the police to
take Clever before the courts otherwise demanded his release since
he had been deained for more than 48 hours.
Charges on Clever's arrest were unclear and highly political. He
was verbally accused of being aligned to the Movement for Democratic
Change (MDC) the main opposition party in Zimbabwe that has exposed
the ruthless yet fruitless regime of Robert Mugabe. The torture
that Clever went through is clearly politically manifested, ZINASU
condemns in the strongest terms, political bushworkers masquerading
as police officers.
