MDC-T condemn arrest of (MRP) youth by the military for staging a protest demanding Mnangagwa to address the Gukurahundi
The MDC-T and MDC Alliance has condemned in strongest terms the arrest and detention of Mthwakazi Republic Party youth by the military for staging a protest demanding President Emmerson Mnangagwa to address the Gukurahundi issue which he is accused of participating in.
 
MDC-T Bulawayo spokesperson Felix Mafa Sibanda said it is with regret and extreme apprehension to note that the junta and its surrogates are at it again.
 
“We as MDC family condemn in the most and strongest words possible the barbaric assault and detain MRP cadres for expressing themselves in form of peaceful picketing/demonstration against deafening silence of President ED on Gukurahundi genocide (1983 to 1987) abruptly stopped by surrender documents ,dumped “infamous Unity Accord” he said
 
“We therefore call upon all minded political formations and progressive civil society organizations to petition or approach the constitutional court for adjudication as a strong statement against violation of the Supreme Law,the constitution of Zimbabwe.”
 
Sibanda said MDC is clear on constitutionalism and freedoms of all, therefore they don’t mind of any ideological thrust or difference”of any organization but support what is right and condemn what is unconstitutional and inhuman as how the police, army ,CIO and ZANU PF zealots manhandled and tortured members of the Mthwakazi Republican Party (MRP).Zimbabwe has never experienced being detained by the military except during the Gukurahundi genocide.
 
“Are we reverting to 1983 …1987 era. That has to made clear by the power a that be so that it is known word wide that tables have adversely turned upside down few weeks from Mugabe infamous era. Zimbabwe is distressed to the marrow by the insensitive and disregard of the constitution of Zimbabwe which guarantees human and other rights as it were. We unreserverdly condemn that barbaric behavior by those involved and demand their arrest and be made accountable in courts of law,” he said. Stephen Jakes
