Police Saturday arrested about 30 MDC-T youths in Bulawayo before ransacking the party's office, taking away several campaign materials including fliers, t-shirts and minutes of previous meetings.
MDC-T lawyer Lison Ncube of the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights said the youths, who were arrested along Luveve road, were severely assaulted before they were released without a charge.
Sources said the MDC-T youths had planned to demonstrate in protest against the continued incarceration of their national youth chairman, Solomon Madzore, accused of murdering a police officer in Glen View last year.
Madzore has been in custody for the past 4 months.
The arrest came at time when the MDC-T secretary general Tendai Biti is reportedly preparing a dossier to the Sadc complaining about the crackdown of his party supporters by state security agents, especially the police
