Interpol should investigate Dzamara's disappearance - Chamisa

Kuwadzana East MP Nelson Chamisa (MDC-T) has suggested that Interpol should be roped in to probe the disappearance of activist Itai Dzamara.

Parliament resumed seating today and Chamisa introduced the debated before adjournment.

"We are saying if government cannot go on with the investigations, then let Interpol be invited to do finality on the matter because Dzamara's family is suffering and they need closure," Chamisa said.

"Last time the issue was introduced in the National Assembly, Zanu PF MPs walked out, but now they cannot avoid debate on the issue because it is now in the National Assembly Order Paper instead of it being discussed as a matter of public importance."

"Since it is now on the Order Paper, those MPs who ran away from the debate cannot do that now. Even if they walk out again, the issue is going to be debated anyhow since it is now a motion," he said.

Dzamara was allegedly abducted and bundled into a truck a year ago in March at a barbershop in Glen View. Since then he has not been accounted for.

He was well-known for one-man demonstrations at Africa Unity Square where he demanded that President Robert Mugabe should resign.
