Madhuku Arrested
As you might be aware Dr Lovemore Madhuku was picked up during an NCA demonstration today. Madhuku has made a name for himself as a fierce critic of the regime and a proponent for new constitution, the main ingredient for a new and better Zimbabwe. The man was also in the media for alleged foul play, when he arm-twisted himself to remain as chairman, Mugabe style. The question for the Zimbabwean media is, Is the man a hero or villain. How should we cover this obviously brave man, who has organized a number of demonstrations, although with a shady past, which include allegedly misappropiating funds. How should we treat him and Jenni Willaims of WOZA, people who have relentlessly defied the dreaded black boots to stand up to tyranny and oppression, when most are paying lip service to the crisis.
However in the meantime ZINASU (another bunch of patriotic young men and women) have threatened to go to the streets in protested. For those whom might not have seen the ZINASU presser here goes.

Zimbbawe National Students Union (ZINASU) condenms the arrest and possible torture of Dr Madhuku and will be going to the streets soon in protest of Dr Madhuku`s arrest.ZINASU is disturbed at the trend which human rights abuses are taking in Zimbabwe.Barely three days after arresting more than fourty students in Bulawayo and releasing them on bail pending their appearence for trial on the 15th of november 2006,some of the arrested students were later suspended for putting the names of their colleges into disrepute.Four of the University of Zimbabwe members of the Students Executive Council were suspended and the UZ President spent two nights in police cells for reasons yet to be established.Recently the police in connivance with the dreaded youth militia brutally crushed the lawful and legitimate Zimbawe Congress of Trade Unions protests.

We reaffirm our commitment to fight this tyranny to the bitter end and express our profound solidarity with Dr Madhuku.We want to remind ZANU PF ( ruling or ruining party) that this is the same Union ( ZINASU) well known for its reckless but not foolish bravery and with the propensity to fight at a relentless capacity.We can safely confirm that the on going students protest are continuing and increaisng in capacity.A massive national class boycott will soon be called and therefter our demonstrations will take a national scale and outlook until this evil regime yields to the demands of the sovereign people of Zimbabwe,students included.

DEFENDING ACADEMIC FREEDOMS IN ZIMBABWE.

For and on behalf of ZINASU,

Promise Mkwananzi
ZINASU President
