Police Ban Planned Vendors Protest

ZRP has blocked a demo that was planned today by the vendors against police brutality following the death of a vendor Hilton Tamangani who died in police custody a week ago.

In denying the vendors’ request the police said:

May you be advised that the notice of public procession served on us does not comply with mandatory requirements of Posa and as such this office cannot proceed to make consideration on the basis of this defective notice

The police of late have banned all forms of protests that seek protection from them for various reasons ever since protests became explosive in January.
