Radical pressure group Tajamuka/Sesjilike member Sylvanos Mudzvova is said  to have  been abducted  from his  home in the dead of the night  on Tuesday  upon which  he was tortured  severely by armed  men who were interrogating him over funding for the pro-democracy outfit's activities.

Tajamuka which had been holding a series of demonstrations in a bid to force President Mugabe to resign released horrific pictures of Mudzvova who is admitted at the avenues clinic in Harare.

Mudzvova said he had been abducted by unknown gun totting assailants before they   drove him to an unknown location before assaulting him and torturing him badly.

Meanwhile, Tajamuka spokesperson Promise Dalubuhle Mkwananzi finally tasted freedom yesterday - almost three weeks after he was remanded in custody over allegations of public violence that rocked Harare's central business district (CBD) on August 24.

Mkwananzi (35), who is also the Zimbabwe Informal Sector Organisation's director, is accused of being part of marchers that allegedly set alight police and Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation vehicles during running battles between police and protesters.

High Court judge Justice Happius Zhou granted Mkwananzi $100 bail and ordered him to surrender his passport, report once every week at CID Law and Order and not to interfere with witnesses.
