By Own Correspondent| Two Zimbabwean political activists are in hiding after being abducted from their homes by suspected security agents and ruling Zanu PF officials.

Edinah Masuku (30) and Rest Phiri (35) both opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) supporters have fled the country after being subjected to inhumane treatment at the hands of the country’s security agents.

Masuku said she is being tormented for expressing her democratic right.

“I am a staunch MDC supporter and have been mobilising people in my area to be resolute and challenge the Mnangagwa regime however, they have been coming after me until one day they abducted me before dumping me along Bulawayo road,”

“I was beaten on the feet and they even threatened to kill me should I continue to support MDC.” said Masuku

Phiri on the other hand says she was forced to flee her home after unknown men told her to desist from talking to people about MDC.

“They came to my house and forced their way in my bedroom. One of the men slapped me and they bundled me into a truck however, they could not take me away as my relatives called for help” she said

She alleges that a relative called informing her that her life was under threat and has to leave the country immediately.

“I was called by a relative informing me that my life was under threat and that I should leave the country as soon as possible. I fled the country because my life was in danger”

Abductions and torture of opposition political activists and anyone opposed to the ruling Zanu PF are not new in the country.

Journalist cum political activist Itai Dzamara remains missing after being abducted by suspected state security agents in March 2015.

Dzamara had been a critic of the then late President Robert Mugabe and Zanu PF.

Human rights activists believe Zimbabwe’s security services are responsible.
