The trio, Harare West MP Joanah Mamombe, Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova were arrested after staging a demonstration outside the new government complex. National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the arrests. “The Zimbabwe Republic Police confirms the arrest of Joanna Mamombe, Netsai Marova and Cecilia Chimbiri in Harare after a flash demonstration outside the New Government Complex.” “The trio who were in a Toyota Fortuner without number plates followed a police vehicle with officers who had attended the scene and used abusive language on the officers thus leading to their arrest,” Nyathi said.

They were charged with faking abduction and publishing falsehoods prejudicial to the State. The United Nations (UN), last year released a statement calling authorities to “urgently prosecute and punish the perpetrators of this outrageous crime, and to immediately enforce a policy of ‘zero tolerance’ for abductions and torture throughout the country” to ensure the effective protection of women against sexual violence, and to bring those responsible to account.
