ALERT: State agents pay intimidatory visits to Mudzingwa and Dhlamini in their hospital beds
Further to our previous post, we’ve just received word that Chris Dhlamini and Ghandi Mudzingwa were paid a visit today in their hospital ward by three of the people instrumental in illegally locking them up in Chikurubi.The three men walked in and walked around but took nothing. They were:
Detective Chief Inspector Ntini (the boss)
Detective Inspector Muchada
Detective Assistant Inspector Mukwaira
The three men were accompanied today by two unnamed Detective Assistant Inspectors.
We must remind you that both Dhlamini and Mudzingwa are hospitalised because they were very badly tortured after being abducted and illegally imprisoned by agents acting on behalf of the Zimbabwean government.
The named men who paid them a visit were instrumental in their original detention.
Shortly after this visit, three prison guards then tried to force their way into their hospital Ward, under the pretext of supplying a security guard.
Both visits are a clear case of overt intimidation and are utterly unacceptable. The witness from the Avenues Clinic who relayed this information to us on behalf of the men said both men were confused and unsure of what was going on.
The witness quite rightly pointed out that a visit, by prison guards, in hospital and after bail had been granted, was extremely unusual and a real cause for concern.
Please read our previous post describing how Dhlamini, Mudzingwa and Manyere were recently granted bail and how the State plans to appeal against this and, if at all possible, lock them up again.
