-Attend the hearing at Rotten Row Magistrate Court
Comrade Obert masaraure, a labour leader from Zimbabwe, has been convicted of "obstructing justice" for tweeting his solidarity with a jailed union comrade. This is an attack on the very idea of solidarity itself. He will be sentenced on 23 May
Deeply saddened by the report that @OMasaraure was convicted by the Harare regime!The lawfare in 🇿🇼 is meant to suppress the Citizen's voices, we condemn the act of persecution by prosecution while real criminals who abduct members of Parli with AK47 move scot free! #FreeObert
Today we will be closely following the judgment of the ARTUZ PRESIDENT, Obert Masaraure. This will be heard at the Harare Magistrate Court, today - 30 April 2024, at 14:15hrs. No one should be persecuted for freely expressing their opinions. #FreeObert
Obert Masaraure, a Zimbabwean labour leader, has been convicted of "obstructing justice" for tweeting his solidarity with a jailed union comrade. On 23 May he will be sentenced. To stand in solidarity with Cde Obert:
* Wear black
* Tweet using #FreeObert
* Attend Rotten Row Court
The whole trial and its outcome was a sham and travesty of justice. We stand in solidarity with you for the sterling work you do to defend human rights. #FreeObert
@OMasaraure is facing charges emanating from a statement of solidarity when I was incarcerated. Today he is appearing in Court for Judgement, We need to show the same spirit of solidarity by attending Court in our numbers.
#FreeObert#DropTheCharges
I have learnt of the unjust conviction and corrupt detention of ARTUZ president cde Obert Masaraure. The regime in Harare continues to use the criminal justice system to curtail the fundamental freedoms of citizens who organize resistance against their dictatorship.
#FreeObert
The conviction of Obert Masaraure continues to threaten, undermine and shrink democracy. The weaponisation of law in suppression and repression exposes the extreme level of autocracy in our country. These are flimsy and trumped charges #FreeObert
It is not a good morning for students of democracy, @OMasaraure has shown that as a leader thier fight goes beyond employment issues it encompasses students, employees of tomorrow, this has been a calculative approach to leadership which we need #freeobert

Let’s be clear -sexual exploitation, violence against minors & nonconsensual coitus must be condemned by all, straight or gay. But homophobic propaganda, fear-mongering & baseless claims by politicians that portends violence against minority groups have no place in civility & law
I have got UGX40m. Fundraising has been successful. Now waiting for that bespectacled magistrate with fat cheeks & head bereft of the law, to send me the account number to which I'll make a deposit and save my sureties' bahookies from sitting in filthy cold jail. THANKS EVERYONE
