Tsvangirai visiting Chikurubi today

Movement for Democratic Change President Tsvangirai will at 11am today (Friday, 16 September 2016) visit 'pro democracy' activists incarcerated at Chikurubi Maximum Prison.

This comes after the European Union (EU) ordered government to urgently and unconditionally release all its political prisoners and create a conducive atmosphere for dialogue with its citizens to avoid pushing the country into a state of anarchy.

In a joint motion for a resolution in the EU Parliament in Brussels, Belgium, presented on Wednesday, the parliamentarians said it was premature to lift restrictive measures imposed on President Robert Mugabe's regime over its poor human rights record.

The bloc also condemned Mugabe's recent attack on the judiciary.
