MDC president Nelson Chamisa castigated President Emmerson Mnangagwa for targetting his party for harassment and persecution.
Chamisa was speaking to journalists at Harare Magistrate’s court after the release of his party’s deputy chairperson Tendai Biti who was convicted of violating electoral laws. Said Chamisa:
One of our pillars is being targeted by the ZANU PF and he is being persecuted on the simple account that he is telling the truth.
We are aware of the targets on our leaders across the country. We are also aware of the target on lawyers and doctors for human rights which is quite disturbing because even Mugabe at his worst we never saw the attack on human rights defenders.
