THE European Union (EU) in Zimbabwe has demanded an immediate end to “questionable” pre-trial detention of political opponents, journalists and activists in light of a surge in new Covid-19 cases in the country.
In a statement Wednesday, the EU expressed serious concern over the recent arrests and detention in remand prison of senior MDC Alliance politicians, vice chairperson Job Sikhala and party spokesperson, Fadzayi Mahere, including freelance journalist Hopewell Chin’ono.
“The current pre-trial detentions, delays of proceedings and bail denials without serious charges are questionable, especially in times of #Covid-19. The infection risk in jail is high due to overcrowding and lack of hygiene. We know this because we support prisons through @VSOZimbabwe,” the EU said.
