Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) released!

The final four members of Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) have finally been released from police custody after spending five nights in cells.

In total, 65 members of WOZA were briefly detained in Harare for participating in a peaceful march. But WOZA leaders Jenni Williams, Magodonga Mahlangu and two other organizers remained in custody until the Attorney General's office refused to press charges due to lack of sufficient evidence.

Thank you to everyone who placed calls and sent emails to Zimbabwe officials!
