Zimbabwean activists, students, and critics face escalating abductions and torture amid state-linked repression under President Mnangagwa.
Zimbabwe is facing a surge in abductions, torture, and intimidation of activists, students, and critics of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, with human rights groups and police insiders reporting coordinated state-linked repression.
Recent cases include the abduction and beating of activist Godfrey Karembera and two Chinhoyi University students, Lindon Zanga and Malvin Madanda, linked to opposition organizing and student elections.
Authorities are using broad security laws, including the 2023 Patriotic Act, to target dissent, while investigations into the abductions have yielded no arrests.
The crackdown has raised alarms over escalating violence, enforced disappearances, and the erosion of civil liberties, with little accountability and growing concerns about the safety of critics both within Zimbabwe and in the diaspora.
