MDC condemns police action at the High Court
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
June
05, 2012
The MDC condemns in the strongest terms police action on Monday
at the High Court when they fired teargas at MDC members and relatives
of the 29 MDC activists facing fabricated
charges of murdering a police officer last year.
The police further
barred entry into the High Court today to hundreds of MDC members
and relatives who had come to follow today's court proceedings.
The police's
heavy-handedness in the past two days is a clear indication that
some senior Zimbabwe Republic Police officers are working as political
commissars for Zanu PF.
The constitution
is clear about the roles and responsibilities of the police force
that is mantaining law and order.
Police Commissioner
General, Augustine Chihuri has turned ZRP into a police force of
lawlessness and disorder.
The MDC will
not accept and recognise a senior public officer who displays an
openly partisan, discriminatory and biased view of the society.
As a party,
the MDC appeals for police to be professional at all times and calls
for the resignation of part time commissioner general, Augustine
Chihuri from the force.
