The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) has gained a boost from the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) who have called for the immediate release the ZCTU leadership including Japhet Moyo.

WFTU said in a statement on Friday, "We denounce the arrest of Japhet Moyo, leader of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) and we demand his immediate release. We urge the competent authorities of Zimbabwe to immediate release the arrested trade unionist Japhet Moyo, and all the detained protesters, to stop the repression and to respect the trade union liberties."

WFTU further condemned the acts of repression that the government is using to crackdown on suspected protestors who engaged in the January 14 violent protests.

"We strongly condemn the violent repression against the protesters, the killings of several people by the police and the imprisonment of more than 200 protesters" WFTU said.

The World Federation of Trade Unions describes itself as a militant voice of 95 million workers in 130 countries all over the world.
