Student
leader languishes in prison, two weeks on
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
October 10, 2007
ZINASU condemns in the
most vehement of terms the continued unlawful detention of Edison
Hlatswayo.
We note with dismay the
reluctance of the Attorney General's office to act upon Hlatswayo's
case, even after ZINASU's communication on Hlatswayo's release.
The student body continues
to fuel its undeterred demand for the release of Edison Hlatshwayo.
We urge Human Rights Groups to give solidarity to ZINASU by putting
pressure on the Zimbabwean government to expedite the unconditional
release of Hlatswayo.
Hlatswayo is one of the
many Human Rights activists who have been victims of unlawful detentions,
arrests and torture. Perpetrators of such injustices always go unpunished,
the culture of using detentions as a way of punishing human rights
activists is uncalled for.
The judiciary procedure
should be left to take its course without undue interference from
the police, the ordinary laws of having an accused innocent until
proven guilty should save Hlatshwayo from the inhuman treatment
that he is currently exposed to.
