MDC
polling agent found dead
Movement
for Democratic Change
July 11, 2008
The decomposing body
of Gift Mutsvungunu, a polling agent in Kuwadzana East in Harare
during the 29th March election who went on missing last week, was
discovered in the same suburb yesterday.
His body shows signs
of intense torture, his eyes were gouged out and his backside suffered
serious burns before his abductors killed him.
There is reasonable suspicion
that state security agents killed him, as his injuries are consistent
with those of other deceased persons who were abducted and later
killed by state security agents who have unleashed terror on MDC
activists and polling agents following Zanu PF's historic defeat
on 29 March.
His death brings to
113 the death toll of MDC activists who have been murdered by Zanu
PF supporters state security agents since 29 March. He will be buried
on Monday at Granville cemetery in Harare.
His relatives say Mutsvungunu
went missing on Saturday last week. His decomposing body was found
yesterday at a co-operative in Kuwadzana 3. May his soul rest in
eternal peace.
