The Presidency of the European Union has noted the release of 14 members of the opposition and is calling for the immediate release of the other participants in a church sponsored rally (a so called Prayer Meeting) of the Save Zimbabwe Campaign arrested on Sunday (11 March). It was deeply concerned to learn of the serious injuries suffered by the opposition leaders as a result of maltreatment.
The Presidency emphasizes once more the Zimbabwean Government's responsibility for the safety and well-being of those arrested. The Presidency will continue to observe events in Zimbabwe with interest.
