Zimbabwean Civil Rights Activist Itai Dzamara Missing, Feared Kidnapped, Tortured or Dead
Itai Dzamara, a critic of Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe, has been missing since March 9, 2015. It is feared that the Mugabe regime has abducted him, and that his safety and life are under severe threat. It is expected that if he is harmed or found murdered, whoever is found responsible, no matter who, will be punished with the full force of the law. It would be best, if he has been abducted, if he were returned safely to his home at once. See also: Statement from the U.S. State Department  © 2024 Gatestone Institute. All rights reserved.

Back in the 1990's I used to work with Bantus from Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. That was close to the Zimbabwean border along the Limpopo-river. Sometimes I think back on this time with a bleeding heart. We cultivated flowers. We worked very hard, with great pleasure and a lot of fun. I clearly remember my Zimbabwean workers telling me how nice and good it would be for Zimbabwe and its people if Ian Smith came back! Reply->

For years it has been common knowledge for years that this former British colony is much worse off being independent than under British rule; yet nothing is done against this dictatorship which ignores human rights etc. The UN clearly shows that it is a failure and a waste of money. Reply->

If this man is killed for speaking the truth we are all diminished. But another and another will stand and speak the truth for the truth like Our God demands to be heard. Reply->

South Africa is suffering because of what the Mugabe regime is doing. Millions of Zimbabweans have crossed our borders to get away from him and his failing economy. Illegal immigrants have also poured in from other countries. In the last couple of days things have turned ugly, and immigrants had to flee for their life. When is the world going to notice? Reply->

Thank you for calling attention to Mr. Dzamara's apparent abduction. What a courageous man to stand up to Mugabe and his murderous corrupt regime. My heart goes out to his family and friends, and I hope that he is alive and returned to his home, also. Reply->

I was kidnapped in Toronto but people deny it. They kidnapped me and kept me hostage in the hospital so they could terrorize me without witnesses. People only kidnap those who are some type of threat usually. No one is going kidnap someone and feed and house them if they have no real use for them. Even crazy people use some type of logic....

Dr. Shakil Afridi, a Pakistani physician who helped the U.S. locate Osama bin Laden, has been in jail in Pakistan since he was arrested days after the raid on bin Laden's compound in 2011. In 2013, he was granted a retrial, with a new charge that appears politically motivated: charged with murder in regard to the death, eight years earlier, of a patient he had treated. Afridi has gone on a hunger strike protest his unspeakable prison conditions -- including torture. His former lawyer, Samiullah Khan Afridi, was murdered by the Taliban in March 2015.
