MDC Bikita West MP arrested

Bikita:The newly elected MDC Bikita West MP, Hon. Heya Shoko has been arrested in Masvingo today as part of the on-going crackdown against MDC leaders and supporters for defeating Zanu PF in the historic poll of 29 March 2008.

The details and reasons for the arrest of the MP are still unclear but the police have recently intensified their clampdown on opposition members and civic leaders in the last few weeks as the regime campaign of vengeance against innocent Zimbabweans.

The arrest of Hon. Shoko is another attempt by the Zanu PF regime to frustrate the operations of the MDC ahead of the presidential run-off.

Ever since President Morgan Tsvangirai won convincingly against Robert Mugabe, the nation has not known peace.

The MDC is aware that the regime is engaged on a desperate attempt to cow the nation ahead of the so-called run-off. The regime is running scared and it believes that the nation can be cowed through barbaric acts of violence against the leaders of MDC activists who made victory possible.

We shall not be intimidated. Victory belongs to the people. The regime is cruising one way into the abyss and no amount of intimidation will mitigate its fate.
