Speaking on condition of anonymity, the diplomat, who is based in
Harare, said their embassies were concerned at Mukoko’s abduction.

"We are very concerned with the situation," he said, "We want this lady
to be found as soon as possible.  We are also raising this issue in the
European Union as an embassy."

European Union Foreign Affairs ministers are set to meet as a block in Brussels, Belgium on Monday.

Meanwhile Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) has made a passionate appeal for
information from sympathetic members of the uniformed offices and
members of the public on the  whereabouts of Mukoko who has been
missing since December 3, to contact them on Zimbabwe cell numbers 0912
471 671 or send text messages to 0912 452 201.

At a press conference in Harare on Sunday, ZPP chairperson Munyaradzi
Chaumba said all efforts to seek assistance from the police was bearing
no fruit as police were not co-operating at all.

Mukoko, ZPP Director, was kidnapped at gun point at her home in Norton
on December 03, when a gang of about 15 suspected state security agents
driving an unmarked car seized her when she was still in bed.

Her whereabouts are still unknown.

No one has since claimed responsibility of her captivity and no reasons have also been stated as to her abduction.

There are wide beliefs though that the incident could have been done to
stop her from further documenting rampant human rights violations by
President Robert Mugabe’s government.

Civic Groups in Zimbabwe have also embarked on various campaigns aimed at searching for the whereabouts of Mukoko.
