[IUF News] urgent action Zimbabwe: Farmworkers' Leader Abducted to 'Torture Center'/World Day of Action Against Child Labour
On June 12, Edward Dzeka, area officer for the General Agriculture and
Plantation Workers Union of Zimbabwe (GAPWUZ) and Zimbabwe Congress of
Trade Unions (ZCTU), was picked up by suspected militia thugs of the
ruling party ZANU (PF) and transported to what is described as a torture
center near the town of Chegutu. Dzeka had previously been arrested on
April 16 and was free on bail. He is also an elected councillor for the
opposition MDC in Chegutu West.
Given the atrocious record of violence against GAPWUZ members and
officers, the ZCTU and the MDC and its supporters, there is every reason
to fear for Edward Dzeka's physical safety.
