CCC MP Job Sikhala Engages US-based Law Firm To Fight His Detention
Opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) Member of Parliament for Zengeza West, Job Sikhala, has engaged a leading international law firm, Amsterdam & Partners LLP, based in Washington DC and London, to fight his detention for allegedly inciting unrest.
Sikhala, who has to date been arrested about 70 times, without a single conviction, was arrested in the aftermath of the recent murder of CCC activist Moreblessing Ali by Zanu PF-linked Pius Mukandi alias Jamba. He was arrested with 12 other opposition activists, including another MP Godfrey Sithole.
A letter by the law firm’s managing partner Andrew J. Durkovich, who specialises in cross-border or multi-jurisdictional disputes, including international litigation and arbitration, as well as political advocacy, confirms Sikhala will now be represented without charge by top attorneys.
Sikhala, who is also a lawyer, is the attorney for the Ali family which has refused to bury their daughter until the opposition MP and senior leader is released.
