President Tsvangirai arrested yet again


Saturday 14 June 2008
1130hrs 
President Tsvangirai and 11 other members of the Presidential election campaign team were again detained by police and members of the Central Intelligence Organisation just after 1000hrs at a road block just outside Shurungwi.

They were then taken to Shurugwi police station where they are currently being detained. 

It is clearly impossible to talk about free and fair election in Zimbabwe and to suggest otherwise is to be clearly blind to the grave harassment, intimidation and violence that the people of Zimbabwe have had to endure over the past few years.  

The determination and resolve of the people of Zimbabwe to build a new and prosperous Zimbabwe surely has to be complemented by decisive leadership from SADC. The people of Zimbabwe have done, and are still doing all they can to finish off the era of dictatorship, and define a new destiny of the country, a destiny of peace, jobs, health care and general prosperity.   This harassment of the leadership and the people of Zimbabwe must stop. 

For more information please call MDC on South Africa Nqobizitha Mlilo 083 527 4650 or George Sibotshiwe 076 633 0314 or Zimbabwe Nelson Chamisa 0912 940 489
