The policemen claimed they were from Mabvuku station and asked why the displaced people were at Silveira House and whether they had come from Epworth, another high density suburb that has experienced recent ZANU PF attacks.
The displaced group originally came from Mbare, where much of the recent violence has been focused in the last 2 weeks. Hundreds were forced to flee and seek shelter at a church in the Harare suburb of Glen Norah. But they found no peace there, as the police raided the church on Monday and briefly detained them.
Also on Thursday, four intelligence agents (CIOs) and three policemen disrupted a Community Aids Forum in Mabvuku and interrogated organizer Tsuro Makona of the Zimbabwe National Network of People Living With HIV/Aids.
Police disbanded the meeting, despite the fact that it was jointly organized by the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights and the African Regional Youth Initiative in Mabvuku.
