The Movement for Democratic Change Veteran Activists Association has condemned the opening of fire on innocent civilians by members of the Zimbabwe National Army.

Below is the association’ s statement: The veterans of the democratic struggle condemn with the utmost contempt it deserves the shooting of innocent souls by the army.

Nothing can really replace these dear souls.We are deeply sorry for the loss of these innocent lives.

Our deepest condolences go to the families of these departed souls.We are all in pain.

As much as we condemn all forms of violence and attrition,we call upon the Zimbabwean authorities to exercise restraint and respect human life.We humbly call upon the government to heed the voice of reason than to crush dissent.

We call upon the Government to address the poor people’s plight.
