Arrest of Trade Unionists and Civil Leaders
Zimbabwe National Pastors Conference
November 20, 2003

The Zimbabwe National Pastors Conference strongly condemns the arrest on Tuesday 18th November 2003 of ZCTU leaders and other civil society leaders.

Civil society leaders are active in seeking ways to resolve our national crisis while recent police action is further complicating the issues. As Pastors, we do not accept actions that restrict and suppress God- given rights to free speech and freedom of assembly.

We express our solidarity with all those arrested on Tuesday and demand their unconditional and immediate release without charges preferred against them under the current repressive and unjust laws.

Our prayers are with the many victims of repression throughout our country and those forced into exile.

God is on the side of the oppressed and against tyranny.

Munemo
Secretary
