Six MDC-T youth activists were seriously injured and scores others arrested as police violently clamped down on party youths holding a peaceful protest for jobs.
The MDC-T Youth Assembly last month launched a national campaign for jobs. On Monday, as hundreds of youths peacefully marched demanding that the Zanu PF government delivers on its promise for jobs, armed riot police quelled the protest, seriously injuring the youths and arresting scores of others.
The injured were rushed to the hospital.
The MDC-T condemns the police's violent action against a peaceful protest in violation of the national constitution which makes peaceful protests legal.
The violent clampdown takes place in the presence of SADC Heads of State, hours after President Mugabe comes into office as the new SADC chair.
