Zanu PF at it again: Free them now
MDC
Youth Assembly
January
14, 2012
More than 50 MDC Youth Assembly members were arrested today in Bulawayo;
including Bulawayo youth provincial chairman Bekithemba Nyathi.
The well known notorious riot forces from Fare Bridge base armed
to teeth raided MDC Bulawayo offices where the demonstration was
scheduled to start and confisticated free Solo Madzore and others
campaign materials. The police mounted serious roadblocks and deployed
bicycle officers at every corner, streets and road in the CBD and
all suburbs. They were searching every car even in high-density
suburbs like Nkulumani, Mpopoma, Luveve, Nketa, Pumula, and Makokoba.
Solomon Madzore,
MDCYA
National President was arrested on the 4th of October 2011 at
his Waterfalls home and the other seven were arrested in May last
year; till today they are languishing in pathetic and filthy Chikurubi
Maximum prison cells and the Harare Remand prison. First and foremost
we are against the arbitrary arrest and incarceration of our members
and secondly, we have heard enough of partisan judicial tendency
of dilly dallying while playing to the tune of ZANU PF. This is
a true reflection that the justice system is compromised and unprofessional
as they are being used as tools to drive Mugabe and Zanu PF agenda
by selectively applying the law. Mugabe and his Zanu PF are working
against the spirit of Inclusivity and GPA.
The murderers who butchered people during Gukurahundi and
2008 elections are roaming freely in the streets while our Madzore
and others are being persecuted for a case that they did not commit.
Today, the youths of Bulawayo and Zimbabwe at large demanded the
immediate and unconditional release of Solomon Madzore and others.
We know he is an innocent man who has been sacrificed by Zanu PF
through ZRP in an attempt to silence or pacify our Youth Assembly.
We know we are not a violent Party but one thing for sure is that
we are not defenseless. Solomon Madzore has been denied justice
for an abnormally long period of time.
