Staff Reporter|After a resounding peoples victory on Wednesday’s total shut-down, the panicking state has turned its full wrath against children some as young as ten years old, in a serious case of political backlash.

It seems the ruling Zanu PF party is totally intimidated by these youngsters, whose constitutional rights have been breached,  as they remain incarcerated in jails through out the country.
ZimEye.com has continued to receive reports of children throughout the country and especially in Bulawayo who have been arrested and will spend the weekend in jail over various spurious trumped up charges.
Reports from Mzilikazi and Makokoba indicate that kids were raided in their homes at 3 AM this morning and are accused of alleged looting.
“The looting allegations that made police to arrest these minors is over packets of biscuits dropped by rioting adults. I asked them why they could not have the same zeal to arrest people who looted USD15billion and have 50 bedrooms,” Reverend Useni Sibanda wrote on his Facebook wall.
Abammeli Human Rights Lawyers reports that, “The government of Zimbabwe has a pre-trial diversion for minors. Yet last night 16 children below the age of 16 from Mzilikazi area were arrested and thrown in the same cells as the elders.”
The kids are apparently being charged with shoplifting/stealing a packet of Marie biscuits and 2kg sugar.

 
The lawyers grilled the Investigating Officer on the citizens’ constitutional rights.
