UK: Zim protesters arrested in London

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

[Lovely! The MDC are getting tougher. Even the American Ambassador to Zimbabwe commented on the tougher stance of the Zimbabweans. Jan]

London – Ten members of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) were arrested on Wednesday after staging a sit-in protest at the Zimbabwean embassy in London, the Metropolitan Police told AFP.

“There have been a total of 10 arrests for trespass on a diplomatic premises: seven men and three women,” a spokesperson said.

Regular police and officers from the Met’s diplomatic protection team were called to the embassy on the Strand, near Trafalgar Square in central London, at about 9.10am (09H10 GMT) after the 10 got inside the building.

An MDC-UK spokesperson, Ephraim Tapa, told AFP the protest was part of a regular series of demonstrations and vigils outside the embassy at President Robert Mugabe’s repression of opposition in Zimbabwe.

“What we’re saying is that Mugabe appears to be intransigent. He’s defiant to the international community, he doesn’t seem to be listening to anybody, he continues to brutalise people in Zimbabwe.

“We’re saying that if we don’t take action now, the abuse of people is going to escalate as we move towards the 2008 elections.

“We’re protesting against that repression by Mugabe and trying to raise awareness, to try to keep the flame burning.”
