The international community has unequivocally told President Emmerson Mnangagwa that it expected his government to carry out swift, thorough and credible investigations into last week's abduction and brutal attacks on three MDC Alliance youth leaders.
Harare West MP, Joanna Mamombe together with MDC Alliance youth leaders, Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova were abducted at a roadblock in Harare before they were severely assaulted by suspected State agents.
"The Heads of Mission expect from the Government of Zimbabwe a swift, thorough and credible investigation into the abduction and torture of opposition Member of Parliament Joanna Mamombe, along with Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova and allegations of the assault on Nokuthula and Ntombizodwa Mpofu in Bulawayo," the statement demands.
The Heads of Mission exhort Zimbabwean authorities to respect these fundamental rights and full adherence to Zimbabwe's international human rights obligations."
The assailants accused Nyambara of inciting violence after she released a video in solidarity with the three MDC Alliance members who were abducted last week.
