The re-arrest and continued persecution by prosecution of our female youth leaders charged on false and stupid allegations that they faked their own abduction is a clear declaration of war on citizens.

Youth Assembly National Vice Chairperson Cecilia Chimbiri, Deputy Organ Netsai Marova and National Secretary for Policy and Research Hon Joana Mamombe have been tossed around back and forth between hospital beds and police cells since their abduction from police custody on the fateful 13 May 2020.

The latest arrest and detention of the unwell trio is another daring move by the illegitimate regime of Emmerson Mnangagwa on defenseless citizens.

It is clear that Mnangagwa’s reckless, corrupt and extravagant military dictatorship is itching for a showdown with civilians.

The worst disregard to human emotions by any dictatorship is abuse of women and Emmerson Mnangagwa is doing exactly that.

Surely Emmerson has chosen a wrong and dangerous path!

As an Assembly, we want to make it clear that we are not going to take the latest abuse of our female comrades lightly.

We demand for the immediate release of our comrades or else we release our anger!
