Tinashe Sambiri|A delegation of MDC Alliance Assembly Of Women members was on Monday barred from seeing jailed human rights activist Makomborero Haruvizishe.

In a statement the MDC Alliance Assembly Of Women Harare Province castigated the Zanu PF regime for suppressing the rights of those in prison:

Yesterday as the Harare Province Women’s Assembly Management we went to Harare Remand Prison to visit the national youth chairman Obey Sithole.

He was in high spirits despite his current incarceration and told us that in prison everyone hates Zanu PF because of its continued abuse of Zimbabwean citizens.

He encouraged us to find ways of aligning the laws so that there is a stipulated maximum period that one can spend in remand prison without his case being tried.

As there are currently prisoners who have been in remand for more than 8 years just because a judgement has been set aside. All prisoners deserve their day in court and proper legal representation as one is innocent until proven guilty.

We later went to Central prison to see leader Makomborero Haruzivishe but we were denied entry to see him which is a right that every prisoner has but the Mnangagwa government are further persecuting Mako while in prison.

All prisoners have rights
