History
Mr M.S an MDC supporter and brother of an MDC Coordinator was abducted in the 13th May at 8 p.m. by 5 people, some of whom wore ZANU PF T shirts and taken to Budiriro 4. He was singled out in his opinion because his brother is a well-known MDC Coordinator. On the way to the surgery he suffered beating to his genitals. At the Clinic he suffered 4 days of beating and ill treatment. He was kept in a toilet during daytime and in a Landrover outside the clinic at night. He was kicked and beaten with a broomstick in his back, buttocks, feet and hands in a room with 16 people by someone referred to as the "Quartermaster" until he feigned lack of consciousness and was taken to a medical room. He suffered bleeding through the nose and mouth. His third day of torture was described as the worst. He was told to confess to being an MDC Supporter by 2 officers and a Commander known as Mataga.
