The 3 MDC activists who were abducted on Wednesday and were found near Bindura today tortured and badly beaten were subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment including sexual assault, ZimLive reports. This was reportedly revealed by MDC president Nelson Chamisa who said this to the publication:
This is inhuman and degrading treatment. This is torture against girl children, torture against the country. Assuming that they had committed a crime, they were supposed to be taken to a police station, tried and sentenced. But this is a continuation of an ugly past.
You won’t believe it. They are shaking. They are so scared when you open the door, they feel like running away. Cecilia said she can identify one of the suspected state agents who used a gun through their a_nnal passage. It is unheard-of.
Joana Mamombe and her colleagues are currently hospitalised, videos and photos of them brutally beaten and groaning in pain are circulating on different social media platforms. The government has not said anything about the abductions as yet.
