By Own Correspondent| Human rights activist, Star Dewah who is accused of plotting to overthrow a constitutionally elected government has implored President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his administration to stop the 24 hour surveillance on her.
Dewah, is one of the 7 human rights activists arrested in May at Robert Mugabe International Airport soon after coming from a workshop in the Maldives hosted by the Centre for Applied Nonviolent Action and Strategies.
The charge sheets against the activists specified the meeting and its training in civil disobedience and alleged that they wanted to overthrow a constitutionally elected government.
The arrests came days after state-owned daily The Herald ran a story claiming organizations with links to the main opposition MDC party “had been hard at work laying the groundwork for civil unrest to be unleashed next month.”
Dewah however pleaded with Mnangagwa’s administration to stop the 24 hour surveillance on her adding that her family was now living in fear.
She said:
Dear Mr ED Mnangagwa
May you please tell your people to stop following me around. Ever since I was released from prison, I am being followed and monitored everywhere I go by weird people in tinted cars without number plates.
In the past four days, the car pictured below, black tinted Ford ranger with no number plates has been parking outside my house in the evenings. The pattern of its arrival and departure consistent with my arrival at home from work.
Please tell your people to leave me and my kids alone! The intensified surveillance is traumatising my family and the children are now afraid of moving freely at home where they are supposed to feel safe and secure.
Below is the thread by Dewah
