MDC-T plans to sue Zanu PF for 2008 presidential runoff election violence

MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu told NewZimbabwe.com his party is considering suing Zanu PF for acts of violence, rape, arson and other crimes targeted at the main opposition supporters during the 2008 presidential run-off election.

Said Gutu:

As a political party, we are certainly exploring the possibility of mounting a class action to seek appropriate legal relief for the victims of the 2008 Presidential election run-off and other excesses committed against our party cadres by the Zanu PF regime’s agents over the years.

Gutu said this following Wednesday’s High Court ruling paving way for Citizens Against Violence And Anarchy Trust (CAVAAT) to sue the National Electoral Reform Agenda (NERA) on behalf of businesses and individuals for lost and damaged property last year.
