In June 2000, ZANU-PF warlord Biggie Chitoro and party militia abducted MDC parliamentary candidate Finos Zhou and his brother James in Mberengwa West, Midlands Province.
For two days and nights, they stripped the brothers naked, beat them with an iron bar and burned them with melting plastic.
For two days and nights, Finos endured the beatings and burns, clinging to life before he died.
James crawled through the bush, his body flayed and burned, until he found help and survived.
The attack on the Zhou brothers became one of the earliest and most brutal acts of political violence in Zimbabwe's new millennium.
ZANU-PF militia abducted, tortured and brutalised ordinary Zimbabweans.
They murdered Finos Zhou.
Targeting our NDWG Chairmans will not stop July 31 Protests from happening. This march is different and does not belong to any political party. This means ED and his cronies must arrest all the 17million citizens.

The marches never threatened me, and I’m safe. But seeing them stirred something deep inside me. They reminded me that, no matter how long I’ve been here, South Africa is not the land I was born in. It made me remember that I know the road back to Zimbabwe, because that’s where my roots will always be.
This image of a police officer holding a placard reading, "We also want a decent life for ourselves and our children," is a powerful reminder that beneath every uniform is a Zimbabwean who wants the same things we all do. To our police, military and security services: remember
Hakuna rudo rwakadai.
We gave the devil a pedestal. We somehow hope our dreams and aspirations will be considered. The truth is we are better off without ZANU PF
"To the youths of Zimbabwe, we call upon you to realise that the future of this country is yours. Do not be enticed with dirty coins of silver. Be discipled and remain committed to the ethos and values of this great nation," Lt Gen (Retired) SB Moyo, Nov 2017.
If only these items were x ray machines and even the red balloons were paracetamol pills, how many would be saved in hospitals today!? - this is former State Security Minister Owen Mudha Moyo dishing out cars and motorbikes in potholed-town Gokwe today. Pics by @Tinoten53374277
