Farai Dziva|The Movement for Democratic Change has called for the unconditional release of imprisoned party members.

See the party’s full statement:
It was a classic case of political persecution and not criminal prosecution. Period.

The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) feels totally vindicated by the outcome of the State’s case against our Youth Assembly Secretary General, Gift Ostallos Siziba.

Magistrate Vongai Muchuchuti on Monday 9th December 2019, set free leader Siziba after ordering that he be removed from remand for allegedly inciting people to revolt against the ED-led illegitimate regime.

Leader Siziba had been appearing in court since he was arrested by Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) officers on Wednesday 10th July 2019 and charged with incitement to commit public violence as defined in section 187 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.

From the day he was arrested, we as the MDC have consistently insisted that leader Siziba was clearly being targeted for political victimisation by the illegitimate regime.

Indeed, leader Siziba’s only real crime was that he had chosen to stand out in public and openly fight for a better future for the millions of long-suffering Zimbabweans

Leader Siziba is certainly not the only one who has been politically victimised using our courts.

The list of political victims has been growing relentlessly ever since the so-called New Dispensation took over power in Zimbabwe.

Indeed, in the last two years, more and more outspoken opposition politicians and civil society activists have been targetted for unjust political victimisation using our courts.

One case that been diverted towards all our outspoken opposition politicians and civil society activists.

The people’s party is also demanding for the unconditional release of all current political prisoners such as Last Maengahama and Tungamirai Madzokere.

MDC: Change That Delivers!
