By Jane Mlambo| The European Union in Zimbabwe (EU) has called for an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the torture of three MDC youth leaders during their forced disappearance.

Posting on Twitter, EU said it was relieved that the trio had been found though they expressed deep concern about reports of torture and humiliation during their abduction.

“Relieved that three MDC officials were found, but deeply concerned about reports of torture and humiliation during their #enforceddisappearance. We urge authorities to sincerely and swiftly investigate, and bring those responsible to justice! @JoanaMamombe#NoZimpunity,” said EU in Zimbabwe.

Harare West legislator Joana Mamombe, Youth Assembly deputy chairperson Cecelia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova were on wednesday arrested at a roadblock near Long Cheng Plaza on their way back from a protest in Warren Park.

Reports indicate that they were taken to Harare Central Police station before being taken by a Toyota Wish with men who tortured them before dumping them out of Harare.
