ZINASU
National President released
Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU)
(Mugwadi)
March 30, 2010
The Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU) National President Tafadzwa "Tu-boy"
Mugwadi has finally been released today the 30th of March 2010 from
detention at the Harare Central Police Station. There was drama
at the station with the arresting officers failing to raise any
charges against him.
Having been
arrested on the 27th of March 2010 at Harare Polytechnic College
together with the ZINASU Education and Research secretary Bestnos
Kundishora and University of Zimbabwe students leader Alias Chitombo
for distributing the ZINASU Weekly newsletters and addressing students
during the Tertiary Games hosted by the college, the ZINASU President
has since been in custody and has sustained injuries all over his
body which he incurred from the state brutality apparatus.
There had been
serious efforts by the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR)
to take the president to court but the police refused arguing that
there were still working on his case, with several dockets being
opened as attempts to frame charges. One of them stated that he
was being detained for engaging in activities that were likely to
cause breach of peace and incite the students to behave in a violent
manner.
While we celebrate his unconditional release from what had become
an incessant detention, ZINASU unreservedly condemns the continued
harassment of students' leaders by the police and the state
aimed at cowing the leaders into submission, typical of the Mugabe
Regime.
Meanwhile,
the President will be going to receive medical attention on his
injured ear and swollen feet today's evening. ZINASU will
continue to intensify the struggle to free the students towards
rebuilding a democratic and peaceful Zimbabwe.
The Students'
revolution is under trial but the Union remains resolute and committed.
