By Own Correspondent| Zimbabweans have launched an online petition to the Boris Johnson administration in the United Kingdom to strip Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Media and Broadcasting Services Nick Mangwana of his British citizenship.

They accused Mangwana of defending violence and abduction of opposition members by the President Emmerson Mnangagwa regime.

Below is the full petition:

The government of Zimbabwe has been involved in gross human rights offenses. The United Nations documented 49 abductions.

Out of about 49 Abductions since 2019 no arrests have been made. The Abductors who torture and sexually abuse are still at large the State through their secretary Nick Mangwana claims abductions are fake without any evidence.

Recently 3 MDC, A female activists Jona Mamombe, Netsai Marowa, and Cicilia Chimbiri were abducted and violently raped. Police through their spokesperson admitted in the State Newspaper the herald that these ladies were in their custody after being arrested.

The next morning the same police denied having them in their custody. The 3 ladies were later found in Bindura ,bruised,raped and badly beaten.

We believe Nick Mangwana as secretary is part of a repressive system which is being  used to oppress women in Zimbabwe. He should be stripped of his UK citizenship and his family deported back to Zimbabwe.
