It’s extraordinary that a law that the Zimbabwe High Court rules does not exist, can be used to convict anyone. This underlines the use of prosecutorial harassment to silence opponents of @ZANUPF_Official and highlights the failure of politicised lower courts to abide by the law

[Hopewell Chin’ono @daddyhope]

Job Sikhala has been convicted today using a law that does not exist.

See below a High Court ruling that clearly stated that such a law doesn’t exist in our constitution.

However because the Zimbabwean judiciary is captured and pliant to politicians, they violate their own constitution and laws!

Where in the world does a lower court override a higher court on a ruling?

This is continued political persecution of Job Sikhala comically using laws that don’t exist!
This is shameful!!!!

[APPG Zimbabwe @AppgZimbabwe]

We share ACTSA’s concern for the health of Hon Job Sikhala @JobSikhala1 and desire to see his immediate release

[Action for Southern Africa (ACTSA) @ACTSA_UK]

ACTSA concerned about Hon Job Sikhala's continued detention despite today's court hearing. We await his release after tomorrow's court session, questioning the unnecessary delay. #JusticeForJobSikhala #FreeJobSikhala

[APPG Zimbabwe @AppgZimbabwe]

The detention and persecution of elected politicians is totally counterproductive for Zimbabwe and even ZANU-PF. Contrary to ZANU propaganda, the world would like to normalise relations with Zimbabwe but how it will not be able to do so when this sort of thing goes on.

[Hopewell Chin’ono @daddyhope]

As expected, the regime has convicted Job Sikhala of inciting public violence!
His defence lawyers will argue their mitigation points on the 29th of January.

This is just persecution of political opponents by this deplorable regime!

It also means that Job Sikhala will remain in jail until the day of sentencing when he will know whether he will be released on account of bail time served or whether the regime will continue persecuting him.

Statement issued by representatives of Restoration of Human Rights in Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe Democracy Institute, Women of Zimbabwe, My Right to Vote and @ACTSA_UK following the abduction and murder of opposition supporter, Bishop Tapfumanei Masaya

[Stephen Chan @DrStephenChan]

Abducted Zimbabwe opposition activist found dead https://t.co/PcOrUd2slR via @BBCNews The impunity & contempt for electoral processes now encompasses murder & assassination. I don't think ZANU-PF understands (or cares) how much damage this does to their 'democratic' credibility.

[Inna Hengari, MP @Inna_Hengari]

Opposition leaders in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 are being kidnapped, tortured, and killed in broad daylight. The perpetrators are known. They are the same people who steal elections and cause ballot boxes to be delayed in opposition strongholds - they are now stealing lives. No one in the region or beyond should accept this. My condolences go out to the late Hon. Tapfumanei Masaya's family, colleagues, and friends. Nobody should die as a result of political or ideological differences. #PrayforZimbabwe

[APPG Zimbabwe @AppgZimbabwe]

The abduction of Tapfumanei Masaya is yet further evidence of ZANU-PF’s brazen disregard for human rights and the rule of law. Pastor Masaya must be released immediately and the international community must make clear that ZANU’s brutal repression cannot continue with impunity

[Lighthouse News Zimbabwe @LHNewsZimbabwe]

[APPG Zimbabwe @AppgZimbabwe]

The @IPUparliament Human Rights Committee has condemned the continued arbitrary detention of Job Sikhala MP and the fraudulent revoking of the mandates of elected opposition Members of Parliament in Zimbabwe https://t.co/HruJLv2rFj

[Amnesty International Zimbabwe @amnesty_zim]

We strongly condemn the abduction, torture and dumping of Citizens Coalition for Change legislator Takudzwa Ngadziore.

@ngadziore was reportedly tortured and dumped in Christon Bank, Mazowe following his abduction earlier today by unidentified armed men.

[APPG Zimbabwe @AppgZimbabwe]

Relieved that CCC MP Takudzwa Ngadziore @ngadziore has been found alive having been abducted by individuals identfied as CIO agents and dumped naked in Christon Bank but outraged by actions apparently of state security forces @edmnangagwa and @PoliceZimbabwe must investigate.

[ZimLive @zimlive]

📹 CCC MP Takudzwa Ngadziore was stripped naked before being dumped in Christon Bank, Mazowe, following his abduction this morning by CIO agents. He was given a worksuit to wear by local miners who found him. Ngadziore is now being taken to hospital

[Lord (David) Alton @DavidAltonHL]

Deeply troubling news from @DavidColtart about CCC MP @ngadziore. Urgent that Zimbabwe President @edmnangagwa secures a safe release. @appgZimbabwe @tariqahmadbt @AndrewmitchMP

[Makomborero Haruzivishe @MakomboreroH]

Someone somewhere must know this thug.

Identifying them fast goes a long way in deterring the worst outcomes in Takudzwa Ngadziore @ngadziore’s abduction.

Please REPOST and SHARE this picture everywhere so we find someone who can identify him.

Let’s do this for Taku!

[David Coltart @DavidColtart]

This is the deeply troublesome moment when armed men abducted CCC MP @ngadziore a short while ago. The Zanu PF regime has clearly decided it is going to crack down on democrats much as it did after the 1985 election against ZAPU and the 2008 election against the MDC T. The works must speak out against this. We demand the immediate release of Hon Ngadziore. @Sophie_Mokoena please publicize this. It is reminiscent of the worse conduct of the apartheid regime.

[Doug Coltart ⚖️🇿🇼 @DougColtart]

This is the disturbing video of the moment unidentified gunmen armed with AK-47s abducted @CCCZimbabwe MP Hon Takudzwa @ngadziore in broad daylight. Let us all demand his immediate release unharmed. #FreeTaku #NoToAbductions

[APPG Zimbabwe @AppgZimbabwe]

A few hours ago the youngest member of the Zimbabwe Parliament posted the panic alert below of armed men abducting him. @edmnangagwa and @PoliceZimbabwe the government of Zimbabwe is responsible for his safety he must be released immediately.

[Makomborero Haruzivishe @MakomboreroH]

If you have information on his whereabouts, status, or identity of the thugs in this video please get in touch ASAP.

Please REPOST this widely to get life saving information about Taku.
