MDC Press Release:

Three MDC MPs were today arrested at Parliament bringing the number of
arrested MPs in the past two days to four.

Hon. Broadwin Nyaude, the MP for Bindura South, Hon. Mathias Mlambo, MP
Chipinge East and Hon. Pearson Mungofa, Highfield East MP were arrested
today while Hon. Eliah Jembere, the MP for Epworth is still in police
custody after he was arrested yesterday.

The arrest of the four legislators on trumped up charges of political
violence is meant to frustrate the people's project following MDC's
victory in Parliament in the 29 March harmonised elections.

MDC views this continued harassment and arrest of MDC legislators by
the state security agents as a direct affront to the will of the people
of Zimbabwe.
