The extraordinary contempt of
@PoliceZimbabwe
and

for the Constitution of Zimbabwe and the rights of Zimbabwe citizens gets more brazen by the day
Zimbabwean lawyer, Kudzai Kadzere who was beaten up by police fracturing his hand, and is due for surgery tomorrow, has been arrested today by the police after he went to report assault by their officers.
The police accuse him of criminal nuisance & escaping from police custody.

Abductions, torture and even murder of political opponents of ZANU-PF has become a modus operandi of politics in Zimbabwe, highlighted by the attempted abduction of
@pmkwananzi
by state agents in the full glare of the media. That is how brazen the regime has become.
We strongly condemn the abduction and brutal assault of Womberaiishe Nhende, the elected Councillor for Glen Norah Ward 27 in Harare , and his colleague Sanele.
Reports indicate that
@Cde_Wombe
was abducted in Belvedere, tortured and dumped in Mapinga on the outskirts of Harare.

Devastating news that Pastor Tapfumanei Masaya has been murdered. My heart breaks for Zimbabwe. But I also know justice will come one day. As Archbishop Tutu always said of the fight against apartheid, ‘God’s mills may grind slowly but they grind very fine all the same’
The abduction of Tapfumanei Masaya is yet further evidence of ZANU-PF’s brazen disregard for human rights and the rule of law. Pastor Masaya must be released immediately and the international community must make clear that ZANU’s brutal repression cannot continue with impunity
