Dear Africans,

This is Tambudzai Makororo, one of the 74 Zimbabwean political prisoners who were severely beaten by the Zimbabwean police, arrested, jailed without trial, and denied bail.

They were arrested on June 16 after meeting at the home of opposition leader and former GNU cabinet minister, Jameson Timba, where they were commemorating the Day of the African Child.

While in prison, Tambudzai lost her baby, and the Zimbabwean regime refused to let her bury her child.

She underwent surgery on July 8 to treat a fracture caused by police brutality. Unfortunately, due to the terrible prison conditions and lack of wound care, she developed sepsis and her wounds began oozing pus.

Doctors are shocked why someone in such a state can be denied bail.
She is now in a critical condition, but Mnangagwa’s regime doesn’t care.

It is deeply tragic that she and the other political prisoners have been subjected to such violence and inhumane treatment at the hands of the Zimbabwean police and authorities.
The fact that Tambudzai lost her baby while in prison and was denied the opportunity to bury her child is beyond cruel.

The international community must take notice of the massive human rights violations taking place in Zimbabwe and apply pressure on the Mnangagwa regime to stop these brutal and inhumane acts.

There is virtually no political opposition in Zimbabwe, so only the world can help this particular lady.

Please RETWEET as this might help save this woman’s life!
She shouldn’t be in jail, it is beyond cruel, but this is how these FAKE Pan Africanists treat their own people!

Very disappointed to read that @Edinburgh_CC are planning to go ahead with an unchanged Low Emission Zone. The boundary around Preston Street School will do nothing to reduce levels of traffic and air pollution for children & the local community.

Short 🧵 on new research with potential to tackle long standing inequalities in public service provision...

[@urbaneprofessor @urbaneprofessor]

Got a new paper out with @AnnetteHastings and Yang Wang on dog poo and potholes! Or, it's proper title is: Unequal and Gendered: Assessing the Impacts of Austerity Cuts on Public Service Users
