More than 60 people have been arrested so far in the continuing clampdown, said Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, which is providing lawyers for the arrested people.
Human rights groups accuse President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration of clamping down on dissent under the guise of enforcing anti-Covid-19 lockdown rules. Another investigative journalist, Mdudzuzi Mathuthu, prominent for reporting on alleged government corruption linked to purchases of Covid-19 personal procurement equipment and drugs, is in hiding.
His nephew, Tawanda Muchehiwa, who family members say was abducted by state security agents last week to force the journalist to surrender, was dropped near his home Saturday, hours after a judge ordered police to “produce him.”
