The MDC Alliance Youth Assembly Deputy Organising Secretary Netsai Marova was arrested yesterday at the Robert Mugabe International airport by state agencies on allegations that she was trying to escape.
In a tweet posted on MDC Alliance handle, Marova was arrested while she had gone to pick her brother who was coming to mourn her father who passed away yesterday.
“Netsai Marova was arrested around 10pm last night when she’d gone to RGM Airport to collect her brother. The State alleges she was trying to escape the country. Her father passed away at the weekend & her family is in the midst of mourning him.”
The MDC Alliance activist was however taken to court where she was granted bail, according to the tweet by MDC Alliance.
Commending on the matter, MDC Alliance spokesperson Fadzai Mahere described the arrests as inhumane as Marova in a time of grief.
“This is ludicrous, cruel and inhumane. How do you persecute someone mourning their father?”
Since May last year Netsai has been shoved from one court to another and in and out of prison as a punishment for exposing President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration following her abduction together with Joana Mamombe and Cecilia Chimbiri
