Mavhoterapapi (how did you vote) - Post-election violence in Mashonaland
East
April 21, 2008
The photographs
below are of a man from UMP (Uzumba Maramba Pfungwe) area. He was
tied to his hut door by militia and then set alight. This happened
last week and he only managed to get to hospital April 21. Ambulances
trying to go into that area are either turned back by Police or
threatened by CIO.

The photo
on the left is of a man from the Mudzi area, Mashonaland East
who was brutally beaten on the buttocks by Zanu PF militia
for being an MDC supporter. This occurred on Apr 14. He was
taken to the local government hospital who dressed his wound
and gave him Panadol (that was all they had). Ambulances sent
to the area to uplift him and 5 other injured people were
turned back by CIO operatives. The ambulance crew were told
that if they valued their lives they would turn back. The
CIO vehicle followed them for over 100 kms to Harare.
This photo gives you an idea of how severe the beating was,
and what happens when medical treatment is denied. |
| Injury
exacerbated by withholding of medical treatment. |

This man (left) managed
to get in to Harare from UMP after three days. He had burning
plastic put on his back and arms. His home was burned and
his animals were doused in diesel and burned alive. |
| Cruel
and inhuman treatment was meted out to this man and his livestock. |
