in custody

Masvingo
Hundreds of
students from colleges in Masvingo today went riotous at the Magistrates
courts after Edison Hlatswayo was further remanded in custody to
tomorrow. The courts were immediately closed and riot police violently
dispersed the protesting students. One overzealous state security
agent identified as Mutandiri shouted at the students gathering
saying "You don't know blood, we have seen blood, we
have spilled blood, and we shall quell you all" ZINASU Secretary
General Beloved Chiweshe and the Legal and Academic Affairs Secretary
Milward Makwenjere expressed depressing shock from the barbaric
actions by the government of Robert Mugabe.
"We just need to
take this anti-people regime head on"
Hlatswayo will appear
for the record fifth time tomorrow before Masvingo Magistrate Courts.
Meanwhile . . .
The Free Edison
Hlatswayo Campaign Intensifies as eleven students were yesterday
arrested and detained at Masvingo Central Police Station. Amongst
the arrested are Chitsike Munyaradzi, Cleopas Zhoya, Stewart and
who are in a critical condition from the shameless assaults and
torture by state agents.
The Government can kill
the Revolutionaries but it cannot kill the Revolution
