The two activists are still in custody at Sakubva Police Station and it looks possible that they will have to remain in custody over the weekend. Attempts to have them taken to court and released have been foiled by Prosecutor Mutyamaenza who demanded a bribe to release them.

The Officer-in-Charge of Sakubva Police Station has also denied the activists access to their lawyer and food for a second day.

Please call Prosecutor Mutyamaenza on +263 20 64611 to demand that he order the police to proceed by way of summons.

Please also call Sakubva Police Station on +263 20 64212, 64717 or 63145 or the officer-in-charge directly on +263 20 60902 to demand the release of the two women
