From: as on 19 Nov 2009 15:10 Students arrested over 'gun' http://nehandaradio.com Published on: 18th November, 2009 In a dramatic event at Great Zimbabwe University this afternoon, seven students were arrested for possession a gun in their room. The students had gathered in Blessing Dubi's room, one of the aspiring ZINASU National Executive Member candidate to try and caucus before the scheduled ZINASU National Bi- Annual congress on the 5th of December 2009. The students were surprised when 15 college security guards pounced on them accusing them of holding an illegal meeting. The guards started beating them up and the students left the room in a rush. The students quickly dispersed but to their surprise one hour after the disturbances, three students namely, Blessing Dubi, Robson Ruhanya and Zivanai Muzorodzi (SRC President) were picked up by police citing that they had found a fire arm in Blessing Dubi's room after searching. Zimbabwe National Students Union At first, the three students thought the police were joking but were shell shocked when four other students were picked up on similar allegations and were quickly whisked away to Masvingo Central Police Station. Security guards and the police have been on a rampage of harassing student activists and selected politicians on trumped up charges evidenced by the charges levelled on the Deputy Minister of Agriculture Designate, Hon Roy Bennet who is being charged with possession of fire arms. These abuses should stop forthwith as it violate on the right to freedom of association and expression. ZINASU
