By Own Correspondent| MDC Alliance youth assembly and provincial leaders have claimed that unidentified men in plain clothes believed to be military personnel and Zanu Pf hit squads are conducting mid night raids on their homes.

Brian Dube, the Alliance’s youth assembly spokesperson on Sunday alleged that the harassment of the youth leaders which started in Harare had spread to other provinces.

The MDC Alliance raised the flag accusing military personnel of harrassment targeting the party’s leadership soon after the shootings that left seven people dead in Harare after the deployment of the military to crush MDC Alliance demonstrations against the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) delays in announcing Presidential election results on August 1.

Said Dube:

“The harassment of our youth leaders has now spread all over the country.

It is no longer just happening in Harare. Families of our youth leaders in several districts are under siege.

Our youth leaders have called me to say our homes have been visited at midnight by strangers.

In Marondera, we recorded seven cases, in Bindura six, and here in Gweru quite a big number.

I also got a call from Bulawayo to say about nine of our leaders are under siege.”-Newsday.
