Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition (CiZC) has criticised the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) for allegedly doing nothing to stop suspected ZANU activists from disrupting a CCC Press conference in Harare on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

There was heavy police presence outside the Media Centre in Harare where CCC was scheduled to address a press conference.<\/p>\n

However, suspected ZANU PF members stormed into the conference room and allegedly stole CCC banners just before the press conference started and forced some CCC officials to escape through a back exit.<\/p>\n

In a statement, CiZC accused police officers of ignoring the violence that was unfolding before them. Read the statement:<\/p>\n

While [police officers] patrolled the entrance to Media Centre, where [CCC] was due to hold a press conference, suspected [ZANU PF] youths stormed the venue and violently kicked out the CCC officials who were yet to start their press conference.<\/p>\n

What is clear is that [police officers] stood by and decided to pay a blind eye to the unfolding violence, a situation that unfortunately points to partisanship by the police. Police have not arrested [ZANU PF] members implicated in violence.<\/p>\n

According to the Constitution, the police service is supposed to act in an impartial manner and in line with the dictates of the Zimbabwe Constitution.<\/p>\n

The latest incident is not isolated. The State has continued to abuse state security agents and the judiciary for political purposes.<\/p>\n

We implore the police to bring the perpetrators of today\u2019s violent incident to account.<\/p>\n

CCC spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere said the party will not be pushed into violent confrontations with ZANU PF. She tweeted:<\/p>\n

We only know peace. We won\u2019t be sucked into a game of violence. We make no apologies for choosing non-violent resistance over Stone Age barbarism. But we will never be silenced.<\/p>\n

You can steal our banners but you can never steal our voice.<\/p>\n
