The three ZCTU activists who were arrested by Police in Bulawayo yesterday were released yesterday afternoon without any charges.

ZCTU activists arrested - June 09, 2005
Three activists of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions were arrested this morning by Police in Bulawayo for allegedly organising a 2 day job stayaway.

The three Percy Mcijo, David Shambare and Ambrose Manenji were picked up from their homes at the same time at around 5:00am this morning and taken to the Bulawayo Central Police Station.

The ZCTU has not ascertained about the fate of the 3 Who are still in Police custody but has already instructed lawyers to handle the issue.

The job stayaway which started today has been organised by a broad alliance of Civic Oreganisation who are protesting on the government;'s so called clean up exercise which has displaced more than 200 000 families in the urban areas and virtually stopped informal trading in the city centres.
