MDC Alliance Youth Assembly Pays Tribute To Incarcerated Pro-democracy Hero, Haruzivishe
05-07-2021
Today, the MDC Alliance Youth Assembly pays tribute to incarcerated pro-democracy hero Makomborero Haruzivishe who was sentenced to 14 months in prison on trumped up charges of ‘resisting lawful arrest and inciting public violence.’
Running under the #MakoMonday banner, the Youth Assembly is seeking to raise awareness about the nervous conditions of young people in this country while at the same time demanding for the unconditional release of Haruzivishe.
Since usurping power through a coup in November 2017, Emmerson Mnangagwa’s regime has been on a warpath with young people.
Since stealing the ballot will of young people through the barrel of the gun on 01 August 2018, Emmerson Mnangagwa has embarked on a blood letting trail against young people committing all sorts crimes against humanity.
From abductions, torture, rape, murder, displacements, arbitrary arrests to imprisonment, the regime is using all sorts of fascist tricks to silence our voices.
The targeted attack on young people as evidenced by Makomborero Haruzivishe’s unjustified imprisonment is a generational attack by an old generation who stole and diverted the liberation agenda to pursue their petty parochial interests of self enrichment at the expense of the people.
Henceforth, the persecution by prosecution of Mako is a micro of the macro. The ultimate agenda is to silence the voices of all young people in this country!
It is against this background that we must all speak up and raise awareness against the continued caging of Cde Mako through this first step,- the #MakoMonday campaign.
This an ongoing campaign where we dedicate every Monday to our hero, Mako till he is freed.
We are all Mako, Mako is us!
