Great news comrades! CIC Liberty Hamauswa
@HamauswaZW , Cde Richard Nyamandi Cde Dylan Chisemwa and Cde Takunda Mareverwa have been released after being granted bail by the High Court .These innocent students spent more than a month in prison for simply attending a court session.
However, we must be clear: these comrades should never have been arrested in the first place. Their arrest was not a reflection of wrong doing, but a consequence of young people raising their voices, demanding accountability and standing for a better future.
We thank every comrade, student, progressive forces, organizations and individuals who stood in solidarity. Online, at the courts and across different platforms. Your commitment proved that collective action remains our greatest strength.
Special appreciation goes to the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights
@ZLHRLawyers through Advocate Gift Mutisi for their dedication and legal support in helping secure bail for our comrades.
We also extend our gratitude to Amnesty International
@amnesty_zim WeLead Africa
@weleadteam , Amalgamated rural teachers union of Zimbabwe
@ARTUZ_teachers , Zimbabwe Peace Project
@zppINFO ,SASU
@SASUnion, Defend the constitution platform
@DCPYouths, Zimbabwe Human Rights Association
@ZimRightsLIVE , the media and all progressive forces who championed the call for justice.
But let us remember: bail is not victory. It is only a step in the journey. The struggle continues. True victory will come when institutions of higher learning become spaces of freedom, critical thought and fearless expression …where students can organize without intimidation and where every young person’s right to education is fully protected.
Our message must remain clear: students are not targeted because of who they are, but because conscious and concerned young people have the courage to demand change.
Justice must prevail and students must stop being treated like criminals!!
