Govt perpetuating culture of fear, intimidation: MP

AN opposition legislator has accused government of perpetuating a culture of fear and intimidation, particularly against student activists.

Recently, police arrested 44 members of the Zimbabwe National Students Union (Zinasu) at the Zesa Training Centre in Belvedere, Harare, following the eruption of violence, which resulted in destruction of property.

Raising a point of national interest in the National Assembly, Warren Park MP Shakespear Hamauswa raised the issue, citing the Constitution and international conventions that guarantee freedom of assembly.
