There are signs that Zimbabwe has slipped into another era of brutal oppression, even as newly reelected President Emmerson Mnangagwa speaks publicly of “peace, love, harmony and tolerance.”

Behind those words, more than a dozen opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) figures from elected representatives to officials and activists have been arrested by police in the three weeks since the election, the party says. Others have been targeted with violent abductions.

Among those arrested recently was opposition CCC MP and councillor, Maureen Kademaunga, who appeared in court this week on charges of attempted murder and malicious damage to property. Her lawyer said the court decided there was no evidence against her.
