Free the Avondale 78! Zimbabwe solidarity protest
Tue 9 Jul
Parliament Square
Join us and the Zimbabean diaspora as we call for the release of the ‘Avondale 78’ – 78 people arrested and held ulawfully for 18 days now by Zimbabwe’s increasingly repressive regime.
WHEN: 3pm, 9th July
WHERE: Parliament Square, London.
WHERE: Parliament Square, London.
On June 16, 78 citizens including former Senator Jameson Timba were unlawfully arrested, assaulted, and detained in the suburb of Avondale on the outskirts of Harare while attending a party at the former Senator’s residence. Those attending the peaceful gathering, including 29 women, were accused of holding an “unauthorised gathering”.
Multiple arrests have been made since of those calling for their release or attending peaceful gatherings, and members of the government have made increasingly open threats of violence.
We will be bringing banners.
