Women beaten for a peacefull march

A march by pressure group Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) was on Wednesday
violently crushed by riot police officers, leaving many people injured and
12 members arrested.

The march had been organised to commemorate the annual International Day of
Peace, and saw four groups of WOZA members converge on the Mhlahlandlela
government complex on Wednesday morning. The groups handed out leaflets and
flowers to passersby, singing songs and talking about national healing.

But this peaceful action was soon brought to a sudden stop when scores of
riot police started rounding up the WOZA members, saying they did not have
permission to march.

A witness said on Wednesday that about 50 riot police were deployed to break up the gathering. He explained that people started running away because the police were beating everyone with batons. He described how he too had to flee the scene because the police spotted him trying to take photographs. He also described seeing a photographer lying on the ground and bleeding heavily.

Mugabe has Cancer

Thanks to Wikileaks we the people of Zimbabwe now know for sure that Mugabe is sick and will be gone soon hopefully.
Due to his actions since the early 80's and most recently starting in the mid 90's, we knew this old cow was sick but always thought it was mental or demond driven.
Now on top of his sickhead he has cancer. May he rot in hell some time soon

Mugabes beating even at the opening of parliament

As Mugabe was getting out of his vehicle, crowds of his ZANU-PF supporters, some dressed in party regalia, were throwing stones and beating up some members of the public walking through the central park, called Africa Unity Square. This is a park i know all to well from 1998 beatings that i got.

A few streets west of parliament, the Movement for Democratic Change party, which is in a difficult 30-month-old inclusive government with ZANU-PF, decided to close the steel entrance gates to its headquarters to protect party officials inside.

A member of the security team protecting the party leadership, who spoke on condition of anonymity, was in the city center monitoring the violence.

"What I saw there it was actually terrible, people were being harassed in the park, Africa Unity Square by ZANU-PF people,” he said.

He said the violence continued against civilians as Mugabe and his wife Grace arrived outside parliament.

“They were singing party songs and slogans and if you failed to answer the slogan then they will start beating you, even stones they were throwing, everything,” he said.

Since the unity government came to power in 2009, several months after disputed and violence-plagued elections, MDC officials, legislators and party supporters have suffered from recurring attacks and arrests, usually at the hands of state security forces.

Despite protests to Mugabe and police chiefs, the violence continues, although at a lower level than after the 2008 elections won by the MDC.
