A female member of the Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) group, Bertha Sibanda, stripped naked in front of police officers, just as 180 members were arrested following their annual Valentine Day human rights protest on Wednesday.
WOZA members in Harare and Bulawayo conducted their traditional Valentine’s Day protests which were reportedly marred by beatings and arrests and subsequently led to Ms Sibanda stripping before police officers in protest.
This is the 11th year WOZA has conducted such a protest and this year’s theme was – One Love.
According to WOZA officials one hundred and ninety five (195) were arrested then released after some hours but one woman remains in custody.
Bertha Sibanda is in custody for ‘indecent exposure’. She was one of the 180 in custody and she stripped naked in the police station in frustration at not having her complaints addressed.
She is one of the 11 members who were in a Water protest that police violently disturbed and was subjected to tribal insults about Gukurahundi when she lost family to this massacre.
Meanwhile 6 members had medical attention, one of who has to have 3 teeth pulled due to batons stick injury to her mouth.
Several members have reported being called by police officers requesting information about the protest plans and made the offer of money for information. - Zimeye
