Farai Dziva|MDC vice chairperson Job Sikhala yesterday revealed how he was subjected to harassment while in police custody.

According to a Newsday report Sikhala said :

“I was smuggled from Harare to Bikita. I was denied access to my lawyers and family when I was arrested on Tuesday at 8am.

As such, I did not eat anything and

my first meal was today (this) morning. I raised health issues with the police that I am hypertensive and asthmatic, but the police could not have any of that.

I could not take my medication.”

“When I was supposed to go to court in Harare on Wednesday morning, which I consented to, the investigating officer disappeared, only to return at around 1pm,

handcuffed me and never told me where I was going.”

“We went to the car park at Harare Central Police Station where three cars – two twin cabs and a minibus were waiting for me with 12 men armed.”
