The Law and Order Section at Harare Central Police Station was this week issued with a revised list including names of MDC secretary general, Tendai Biti, its spokesman Nelson Chamisa and president-in-waiting Morgan Tsvangirai who should be arrested “as soon as they arrive back in the country”. The name of Mutambara was the new inclusion and the former firebrand student leader shall be charged with “inciting bad feeling against the Head of State and making treasonous statements” according to information leaked from the police.
Mutambara’s article has already led to the arrest and charging of editor of The Standard, Davison Maruziva who was granted bail last week after the paper published the opinion piece.
Police spokesman Oliver Mandipaka confirmed that Mutambara “was wanted for questioning” but declined to divulge more details saying it was confidential police operations.
“All democratic forces must stand with the people in pursuit of the total annihilation of Robert Mugabe and all he stands for,” Mutambara wrote in the article.
Biti is targeted by the Zanu (PF) regime on allegations that he defied the Electoral Act when he announced that the MDC and Tsvangirai had won the elections based on results posted on constituencies across the whole country, while Chamisa could be charged with making “statements prejudicial to the state and inciting the public to rise against government”.
