Farai Dziva|The MDC A Youth Assembly has strongly condemned the arrest of party spokesperson Jacob Mafume today.

MDC A Youth Assembly official Arnold Batirai Dube has confirmed the incident.

See Dube’ s statement below:

The MDC A Youth Assembly strongly condemns the unjustifiable arrest of MDC A spokesman Councillor Jacob Mafume.

This shows a systematic pattern of victimisation of MDC A members by Zanu PF through abusing the police and justice system to settle political scores with citizens who are not happy with the ongoing culture of poor governance, economic rot, corruption and gross violation of human rights.

As MDC A youths, we are demanding the immediate and unconditional release of Mr Mafume and all other prisoners of conscience.

It is mind- boggling to note that Zanu PF is speaking of national dialogue yet it is using state apparatus to victimize citizens.
