Police in Rusape reportedly disrupted the MDC-T demonstrators in solidarity with the party members who were arrested.
Heal Zimbabwe Trust reported that the Police disrupted a demonstration of over 150 MDC-T demonstrators in Rusape on the 23rd of October.
"The opposition members had gathered at the Magistrate Courts in solidarity with Tazviona Marima, the party's Organizing Secretary for Makoni Central constituency who was appearing in court for criminal nuisance. During the protests, Valentine Ziswa and David Tekeshe both MDC officials were brutally assaulted and arrested. Tekeshe is the MDC-T's aspiring Member of Parliament (MP) for Headlands Constituency," said the trust in its October report.
"Freelance journalists Sydney Saize, Bernard Chiketo and Kenneth Nyangani from the Daily News and Newsday papers were briefly detained and interrogated for covering the scene."
The trust said Tazviona Marima who was appearing in court had been arrested on the 16th of October for criminal nuisance after organising demonstration that was not authorised by the police.
