The Movement for Democratic Change led by Morgan Tsvangirai said it notes with resentment the arrest of an MDC official, Ambitious Muzuva and two activists arrested over the weekend and currently detained at Warren Park Police Station on allegations of assaulting a Zanu-PF member and a police officer in Kambuzuma.
"It continues to baffle the minds of Zimbabweans as they day in and day out witness the arrest of innocent MDC activists yet known Zanu-PF terror gangs continue to walk scot free," said MDC-T in a statement.
MDC alleges that on Saturday, Shepherd Mumba was assaulted by known Zanu PF hoodlums,Jim Kunaka, Gochera, Pasco, Gomwe and Moffart in Highfield but police took no action.
The police inaction has compelled Zimbabweans to call for security sector reform.
29 other MDC-T activists are in police custody, some for almost a year, facing charges of murdering a Glen View policeman in May 2011.
The MDC-T said it calls upon the Inclusive Government to constitute the Police Service Commission so that the acting commissioner, Augustine Chihuri is retired and a competent Police Commissioner General appointed.
