Robert Mugabe’s Zanu PF supporters stormed Parliament in
Harare yesterday, beating MPs and journalists while women traders were
rounded up in Mbare and forced to attend their party meeting, as the
political situation in the country deterioratesfurther.
The Zanu PF mob caused mayhem inside parliament, forcing the cancellation of
business.
The violent scenes at parliament and in Mbare are the latest in a string of
violent events that have spread as far as Mutare, Chinhoyi and Masvingo,
where Zanu PF supporters forced parliamentary committees from carrying out
public hearings on human rights issues.
Human rights groups, churches and political parties have also reported a
spike in cases of politically motivated violence by Zanu PF and state
security agents since Mugabe started hyping talk of imminent elections.

despite having not received military training, we were issued with military
uniform and baton sticks before being deployed to beat up people roaming
about suburbs such as Budiriro, Mabvuku, Glenview and others.
“We were operating in groups of eight under strict instruction to beat the
hell out of anything on two legs moving about in the night. Innocent
civilians on their day to day activities were caught in the cross-fire.
“Beating up civilians suspected to be MDC intensified with the creation of
torture bases across the country by Zanu (PF). The evil exercise became
routine until after the discredited Presidential election re-run.
