Cape Town \u2014 Human rights lobby group People Against Suppression, Suffering, Oppression and Poverty (Passop) has called for the Zimbabwean government to release 45 activists arrested there last week.<\/p>\n

About 50 Passop members, with the support of the trade union federation Cosatu and the SA National Civil Organisation (Sanco), made a symbolic picket protest outside Parliament on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

They handed over a memorandum to Parliament’s chief operations officer Tango Dumile Lamani who promised to forward it to the Speaker of the National Assembly Max Sisulu.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In it the group said: “Forty-five people were arrested in Harare for watching a video on the uprising in Egypt. They were charged with treason and were tortured by government personnel. One of the detainees was pushed out of a second floor window resulting in a broken leg, some are HIV positive and in need of their life-saving medicine. It is high time the South African government takes a firm stance and be outspoken in defending the rights of fellow Africans.”<\/p>\n

They said they were protesting in solidarity with their Zimbabwean brothers and sisters and call for an end to politically-motivated violence and all repressive policies.<\/p>\n

“We call upon the South African Parliament to condemn the many human rights violations in Zimbabwe and call for the release of the 45 activists,” the group said.<\/p>\n
