CHRA
leader summoned by police
Combined Harare
Residents Association (CHRA)
May 08, 2007
CHRA Vice Chairperson
Israel Mabhoo was on Friday summoned to the Braeside Police Station.
It remains Uunclear what they wanted from him. He has been unavailable
to visit the police station. When he returns to Harare, Mabhoo would
be accompanied by our lawyers.
Mabhoo said
a Sergeant Gumbura phoned him on Friday advising him that they needed
him at the police station on Friday. Another police officer called
him again using a hidden identity but identified himself as Constable
Moyo. Having been away since Friday, the Vice-Chairperson has today
presented himself to the police in the company of our lawyer Mpiwa
Mangwiro. For details please contact our lawyer on 0912 902 493.
The Association
is anxious to know why the police want him but then we will only
know once he visits the police station.
He received
the call from a police officer who only identified himself as from
Braeside Police Station. This followed a successful Tribunal meeting
at Sunningdale Community Hall on Friday afternoon attended by about
40 residents.
The Tribunal
or 'The Peoples' Court' is a mock trial of Minister
Ignatius Morgan Chiminya Chombo and his pawn Sekesai Makwavarara
the chairperson of the illegal commission running the City of Harare
where residents 'testify' as State witnesses against
the Minister and Makwavarara.
The police have
been on a violent offensive against members of civil society, the
opposition, arresting them, detaining them for long periods and
torturing them while in their custody for allegedly being part of
a broad movement to remove Robert Mugabe's regime by force.
That is untrue and the police know that.
