officer last May

January
26, 2012
Paul Rukanda, the MDC Organising Secretary for Glen View South in
Harare was arrested on Wednesday on allegations
of murdering a police officer in Glen View 3, nine months ago.
Rukanda was arrested
in central Harare, bringing to 29 the number of MDC members who
have been arrested on false charges of murdering the policeman.
Rukanda is detained at the Harare Central Police Station, Law and
Order Section.
Among those arrested
over the cooked up murder case is the MDC Youth Assembly chairperson,
Solomon Madzore and the MDC National Executive member, Last Maengahama.
Madzore and seven other
MDC members are in remand prison, while the rest have been granted
bail. Last week, a Harare magistrate ordered the State to investigate
complaints by those in remand prison that some of them had been
assaulted by prison guards, denied medical attention and that the
two ladies in custody are being held in solitary confinement in
the male section of Chikurubi Prison in cells that had raw sewage
passing through.
