The 3rd force was there in Bindura in March 2002. In this clip the father of Trymore speaks of 3rd force.
His son was killed by ZANUPF thugs the same that took Dzamara and Dr Peter in Sept 2019. No one but ZanuPF and CIO abducts and kill it’s own citizens.
Political violence in Zimbabwe has increased dramatically, with record levels of assault, abduction and torture recorded.
The CSU found that assaults were overwhelmingly perpetrated by the state’s security forces – including police, military and the secretive Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) – while opposition supporters and civil society activists had been on the receiving end of the increasingly violent treatment. As of late, civilians are also on the receiving end of this violence and torture.
One activist interviewed by the Guardian, Ostallos Gift Siziba, a student protest leader at the University of Zimbabwe, said he was abducted by state security agents in August and taken to the headquarters of Zanu-PF, the ruling party, where he was hung from the ceiling by his feet.
“It is at this time that I experienced brutal, callous and inhumane treatment,” he said. “I was tortured and assaulted with my feet hanging upwards and my head downwards as 21 youths and men exchanged chances to beat me until I passed out.”
Siziba was then transferred to the Harare central police station, where the beatings continued. “At this instant I had lost a lot of blood and I was still bleeding. I was injured in almost all parts of my body. I was denied water, and the right to call my parents, a lawyer, or anyone. I received no treatment and had to become my own doctor,” he said.
Siziba’s experience tallies with testimonies from other victims, indicating that it is not just the frequency of political violence that is on the rise, but the severity too. Even myself i relate to this Siziba’s story. I was tortured and beaten by the CIO, and Zanu Militia. I Still have scars for it. Received no treatment. No one could help me not even the police.
Sadly we can’t report it anywhere because of these organisations working together. I could only escape with my life.
