Monday a number of Christian organisations were raided including the Student Christian Movement of Zimbabwe (SCMZ) and Zimbabwe Christian Alliance (ZCA). Five ZCA staff members were taken to Harare Central Police Station for questioning with one said to have been assaulted, and also the general secretary of the Geneva-linked SCMZ together with four staff members, one with a seven-month-old baby. ZCA national coordinator Revd Useni Sibanda said: ‘This is pure harassment of church organisations. We are just doing our usual work and don't understand why we should be attacked by riot police like this.’Sources: Ecumenical News International (10/6), Baptist Times (12/6)
