  • Country Advice Zimbabwe Zimbabwe – ZWE37118 – Harare –
    Country Advice Zimbabwe Zimbabwe – ZWE37118 – Harare – Movement for Democratic Change – MDC supporters – National Youth Service – Internal relocation – Tribal groups 12 August 2010 1. Please provide information on the risk of harm to active pro-MDC supporters and activists in Zimbabwe. Please also comment on the situation for people who sympathise with or secretly support the MDC but do not openly express those views. Human Rights Watch and the US Department of State report that both perceived and known MDC members and supporters, as well as their families, continue to be harassed, arbitrarily arrested, assaulted, intimidated and killed. The perpetrators are primarily members and supporters of ZANU-PF, ZANU-PF affiliated youth militia, war veterans and, to a lesser extent, police officers and security forces. On a number of occasions, citizens have reported being “harassed or assaulted for listening to music or singing songs affiliated with the MDC-T”. ZANU-PF supporters and state security agents also reportedly “abducted and tortured dozens of opposition and civil society members, as well as student leaders, as part of an effort to intimidate MDC supporters and civil society members and leaders”. Such abductions were rarely investigated by the government. Furthermore, ZANU-PF government officials reportedly removed perceived MDC supporters from civil service positions and the military.1 Political violence against perceived ZANU-PF opponents, including citizens suspected of being sympathetic to the MDC, has continued despite the signing of a power-sharing agreement between ZANU-PF and the MDC in September 2008, and the formation of the unity government in February 2009. Throughout 2009, political violence targeting opposition MDC members and supporters resulted in at least three deaths, while at least 19 people died from injuries sustained during the 2008 election-related political violence.
