MDC condemns police's disruption of Kambuzuma rally
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
May
07, 2012
The MDC, once
again, expresses its deepest revulsion and disgust over attempts
by heavily armed police officers to disrupt an MDC rally in Kambuzuma,
Harare at the weekend.
The MDC finds
it strange that the same police force have failed to make any meaningful
arrests on known Zanu PF thugs and miscreants who waged a reign
of terror against MDC members in Highfield, Harare last week.
Six MDC members
had to be hospitalised as a result of the attack by the Zanu PF
hooligans.
Police on Sunday
unsuccessfully tried to block an MDC rally that was being addressed
by the MDC National Organising Secretary, Hon. Nelson Chamisa. Fortunately,
their evil machinations came to naught as an unshaken Hon. Chamisa
went on to address the well attended rally.
This action
clearly shows that the police have embarked on a crusade aimed at
disrupting peaceful MDC rallies across the country. The police and
Zanu PF want to systematically isolate the MDC from its millions
of supporters.
The attempts
by the police to disrupt the MDC rally has nothing to do with the
rule of law but represents a clearly desperate and doomed persistence
in fighting the advent of real change which is upon us in this country.
This is nothing
but naked repression which flies in the face of any pretence to
democracy and respect for human rights. It confirms that we are
still stuck in the yester-year forms of repression and abuse of
human rights. It adds to a litany of toxic acts that have poisoned
the hope and expectations that had begun to be engendered by the
inclusive
government.
The MDC, therefore,
urges the inclusive government to move quickly to repair its image
which is taking a knock every day from unrepentant residual elements
that are fighting the new Zimbabwe that is coming. Together with
the people, we will continue to march towards a new Zimbabwe and
a new beginning.
The MDC urges
the people to remain resolute and steadfast in the struggle for
real change. What is happening reflects the last acts of desperation
from a nostalgic group of people who have lost their way and are
unsure about their fate.
The nation is
watching these developments with a keen interest. The people know
what is happening in their own communities. They are keeping records
of the perpetrators and their sponsors.
The MDC has
survived the sordid alliance in the past 12 years and remains resolute
in its struggle against these forces of darkness.
