PICTURE: Zimbabwean Doctors In Namibia March To Demand Dr Magombeya's Release
Zimbabwean doctors in Nambia marched today in solidarity with the abducted Dr. Peter Magombeya.
Magombeya was abducted on on the night of Saturday 14 September 2019 by unidentified assailants and is still missing. He is the current acting president of the Zimbabwean Hospital Doctors Association (ZHDA) and he was leading the doctors ongoing strike demanding better living conditions.
Several calls for his return have been made since Sunday.
A march and prayer vigil was held in Harare on Monday, 16 September. Today, doctors at Harare Hospital gathered outside the health facility to protest and demand the release of Magombeya.
There have been several abductions of activists and politicians this year. The government has blamed the abductions on a third force that it claims is trying to soil government’s image.
Namibia is home to many doctors who fled Zimbabwe to seek better professional conditions in the diaspora.
