Tatenda Mombeyarara of the Citizens Manifesto is one of the human rights campaigners taken into custody in Zimbabwe.Authorities in Zimbabwe have detained four human rights campaigners on their return home from a foreign trip and seized their cellphones and laptops, lawyers said Tuesday.
"They were detained upon disembarking from a South African flight at Robert Mugabe International Airport last night and held for several hours without access to their lawyers," Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights spokesman Kumbirai Mafunda said. The men arrested late Monday were identified as George Makoni, 38, advocacy officer for the NGO Centre for Community Development Zimbabwe; Tatenda Mombeyarara, 37, co-ordinator for lobby group Citizens Manifesto; Gamuchirai Mukura, 31, executive director of Community Tolerance Reconciliation and Development ; and Nyasha Mpahlo, 35, governance officer at Transparency International Zimbabwe.
Lawyers were granted access to the four at Harare's central police station, five hours after the arrest, Mafunda told AFP.
