Tinashe Sambiri|The MDC Alliance Youth Assembly has denounced the harassment of its members by overzealous police details in Gweru.

Members of the MDC Alliance Youth Assembly have been frequently summoned to the police for “dubious questioning” at Gweru CID Law and Order Section.

See statement below:

The Zanu PF regime has through the police continued to torment MDC Alliance Youths.

The so called new dispensation has refused to leave behind human rights abuses and all the dirty deeds which were done by those they call old dispensation and claim to be different from.

Youths from Mkoba suburb are being summoned to Gweru CID Law and Order for questioning which we see as a ploy to intimidate and silence all those who do not support Zanu pf.

This random picking of known Mdc Alliance Members started with our Mkoba district youth chairperson John Kuka who was the first to be called on the 18th of December and then followed by Tonderai Chadoka who was called for questioning on the 4th of January.

The percecution seems not to be ending anytime soon as six more youths were called in also for the so called questioning today. Those who went to law and order today are Mthulisi Noko, Portia Tambalika, Edwin Chakanyuka, Tawedzerwa zvirawi, Precious Mtengwa and Tendai Gama

We strongly condemn the continued unfair treatment of citizens. zanu pf must use all this energy in the fight against this covid 19 pandemic which the nation and the whole world is facing. This behaviour of trying to crush opposing voices through arrests and trumped up charges which has rocked the nation must not have any space in our community. This must be a time where all citizens unite and stop the spread of covid 19.

As Mdc Alliance Mkoba youths we say we will not be intimidated or diverted from our goals and fight for a new Zimbabwe where everyone is equal, a new corruption free Zimbabwe, fight for constitutionalism and return of rule of law, fight for good governance…
