Continuous
detention of Gwisai undermines national healing
Community Tolerance Reconciliation and Development (COTRAD)
March 07, 2011
Community Tolerance Reconciliation and Development vehemently castigates
the judicial system and the office of the attorney general for perverting
justice by the continuous detention of Munyaradzi Gwisai, the leader
of International
Socialist Organization and former MDC member of parliament for
Highfield constituency and 44 other members of the broader alliance
in democracy and other youth organizations.
The 45 were
arrested whilst discussing democratic issues and are now facing
allegations of plotting to oust the Zimbabwean government of the
day which is claimed to be a constitutional government whilst in
actual fact it was never voted into existence by the Zimbabweans.
It is questionable
why they were arrested for watching videos. It has been part and
parcel of their educational policy and why now especially after
the utterances by Mnangagwa and Sabau aimed to suppress public opinion
and expression. COTRAD in this wake castigates and questions the
sincerity of the national healing and peace building process. There
is need for the government to let freedom of opinion, expression
and association to prevail.
