The duo of Sethukani Ncube and Weston Chadomba of Bulawayo, as well as Gweru based Trymore Mhari, suffered a dislocated shoulder, hearing problems as well as broken arm after being severely assaulted by police officers and soldiers enforcing the nationwide lockdown regulations.

In one of the letters, Mhlanga said his client, Chadomba came across a police officer and a soldier on his way home.

Mhlanga also said in Ncube's case, his client was assaulted by eight police officers who used baton sticks and kicked him all over his body resulting in him suffering a dislocated shoulder.

"After conducting their unlawful conduct, my client (Ncube) was dragged to Magwegwe police station where he was detained overnight before being released the following day after paying a fine of ZWL$500 for failing to comply with lockdown regulations," said Mhlanga.

In the case of Nhari, his lawyer Chanayiwa said he was assaulted by Gweru police officers in the CBD and he suffered a broken left arm.
