Amnesty International and former CCC leader Nelson Chamisa have condemned the alleged abduction and torture of two Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU) members from Chinhoyi University of Technology (CUT) following student election campaigns on campus.
The students, 23-year-old Marlvin Madanda and 21-year-old Lindon Zanga, were reportedly abducted on Monday and found the following day, dumped, beaten, and injured.
Amnesty International said the attacks “threaten not only freedoms of assembly, expression, and association, but also students’ rights to education, non-discrimination, academic freedom, and participation in university life.”
The organisation urged authorities to carry out thorough investigations and ensure that students can express themselves and organise peacefully without fear of intimidation, reprisals, or abuse.
Opposition politician Nelson Chamisa also condemned the abduction and torture, calling on the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) to take immediate action. Chamisa posted on X:
“Dear @PoliceZimbabwe, Why should this terrorism and primitive brutality on harmless students and simple innocent citizens be allowed to continue like this?
“Mr Mnangagwa, why should this not worry or concern you ?? Mugabe was bad. This is worse. So barbaric. This is pure evil!!”
