MDC supporters arrested in Zimbabwe

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.

Harare – At least 64 opposition supporters have been arrested this week in Zimbabwe’s western region of Lupane ahead of legislative by-elections at the weekend, the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) said. A senior party official and lawmaker from a neighbouring constituency, Abdenigo Bhebhe, said 20 were arrested early Tuesday after they clashed with ruling Zanu PF party supporters while they were putting up campaign posters at a shopping centre. “Our members were putting up posters when Zanu PF youths approached them and attacked them with stones and sjamboks (whips),” Bhebhe said. Forty-four others were arrested overnight en route to a campaign rally that was to be addressed by MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai on Wednesday morning, Bhebhe said. “Police impounded their car and arrested all the 44, only to wake up this morning and release 40,” he said. Forty were released Wednesday without charge, while four are still being held by police. Police spokesmen in the capital were unable to confirm the arrests. Lupane, about 600 kilometres (360 miles) west of the capital, is due to hold by-elections Saturday and Sunday. The seat was left vacant following the death of an MDC lawmaker David Mpala in February from what the party said were torture wounds. MDC said Mpala’s health “deteriorated … after being tortured and stabbed by Zanu PF supporters” in 2002.
