T NCA DEMONSTRATORS
“I utterly condemn the violent and unwarranted action taken by the
Zimbabwe
Government on 25 July when riot police disrupted a number of peaceful
and
legitimate gatherings across Zimbabwe. The arbitrary detention and
beating
of 243 National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) members in Harare and
several
more across Zimbabwe is completely unacceptable.
“The economic crisis needs national unity not political crackdown.
“The international community wants the proper treatment and release of
those
NCA members still in custody.
The initiative led by Thabo Mbeki is the best hope for the people of
Zimbabwe and the run up to the SADC Summit provides the right
conditions for
progress.”
Rt Hon David Milliband
Secretary of State for Foreign & Commonwealth Affairs
