ZINASU
demands release of ZCTU leaders
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
May 14, 2008
The Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU) notes with deep concern the continued
and unwarranted detention and denial of bail of the Zimbabwe
Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) leadership of President Lovemore
Matombo and Secretary General Wellington Chibebe.
We condemn in the strongest
of terms, this barbaric and idiotic behavior by Mugabe and his surrogates.
The students' movement concludes that this systematic victimization
of the pro-democracy activists, the students and labour leaders
included is a deliberate move to silence the people of Zimbabwe
and subvert the will of the people.
Further, the Union demands
ZANU PF thugs to release the labour leaders forthwith. We also want
to warn those responsible for the harassment of thousands of Zimbabweans
that we will hold them accountable both at institutional level and
in their personal capacity.
In addition, we call
upon the Regional Leaders to intervene in the Zimbabwean crisis
with the urgency the crisis requires. Specifically we call upon
the African Union to deploy a peacekeeping mission to stop the prevailing
political retribution by Mugabe and his thugs.
ZINASU stands in solidarity
with the victims of ZANU PF's reign of terror which resulted in
the ever rising deaths, hundreds severely tortured and tens of thousands
displaced.
We urge the people of
Zimbabwe to remain steadfast and resolute. Victory is in the horizon.
The runoff must be the knock out round.
He is finished.
