Arrests
but 2 women cannot be located at any police station, 7 denied breakfast
Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA)
July 03, 2012
Nine Bulawayo
members were arrested the night of 2nd July 2012 and are being held
in custody at 3 different police stations. They were arrested in
2 separate incidents. This is part of the occupy and demand the
draft constitution campaign that WOZA have been conducting since
May 2012.
The seven who
are women arrested at 10pm spent the night at Western Commonage
police station but this morning they were loaded up into a police
van at 9am. It seems the police officers have taken them to where
the messages have been painted in the road and are taking photographs.
They are Vigilant Lunga, Violet Dube, Theresa Phiri, Catherine Dhliwayo,
Eunice Moy, Mpikelelo Moyo and Sibongile Lumbile. They were denied
food this morning so have not eaten since last evening.
Some of the
painted messages read: Fire Chihuri (the partisan police commissioner);
devolution for development; we want separation of powers and we
want education.
The two members
arrested in Matshobana at 7pm are Miriam Ngcebetsha and Ottilia
Dube. Their whereabouts are not known and the support team is going
door to door at every police station looking for them.
