MDC Youth Assembly president Solomon Madzore arrested
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
October 04, 2011
The MDC Youth Assembly President Solomon Madzore was arrested at
his house today at 1305hrs. The reasons or charges for his arrest
are unknown.
The MDC Youth
Assembly condemns in the strongest possible terms the unwarranted
harassment and intimidation of its leaders and members. The arrest
of Madzore comes in addition to thousands of our members and supporters
that are either in detention, or being intimidated by ZANU PF terrorists
outfits such as Chipangano that continue to walk scot free.
The Youth Assembly
whishes to state that Solomon Madzore is innocent; he has not committed
any crime. Recently, the police arrested the MDC Youth Assembly
Deputy President Costa Machingauta for no valid reason. This is
an obvious ploy to weaken the Youth Assembly ahead of the coming
elections.
The continued
harassment of MDC leaders and members demonstrates to SADC and the
facilitation team that ZANU PF has not relented on its resolve to
subvert the will of the people by acting in complete violation of
the laws of the country, including undermining the crucial reforms
before the next election.
The MDC Youth
Assembly is a law abiding entity. As recent as last week, on the
26th of September 2011, the MDC Youth Assembly notified the police
of their intention for a peace march. As usual, the police turned
down the march.
In conclusion,
the assembly reasserts that Madzore is not guilty. He should be
released unconditionally and with immediate effect. Further, the
assembly re-affirms its determination to press ahead with the democratic
agenda of delivering real change to the people of Zimbabweans.
We are not intimidated,
we will not waiver! We are committed to deliver the change that
Zimbabweans want and no amount of terror or intimidation will deter
us.
