22 WOZA members arrested in Bulawayo for discussing constitution

At 11 am today, 22 women in a private home were arrested in Pumula, a suburb of Bulawayo. 

They are currently being held at Pumula Police Station. Most of the arrested are members of WOZA who were discussing the constitutional reform process.

As lawyers were unable to respond, WOZA National Coordinator, Jenni Williams called the Officer in Charge at Pumula, Assistant Inspector Chimani, and asked him why the members had been arrested.

He professed no knowledge of the situation.

The meeting was a private meeting of members exempt under all public order laws. Please call Inspector Chimani on + 263 9 422907 or 422898 and ask him to stop harassing WOZA members.

Also advise him that there is an ongoing constitutional reform process countrywide and that they should participate and allow others to participate freely. WOZA
