Zim activist’s 3 days of torture

LUCKY ESCAPE: Bothwell Pasipamire, a member of Zimbabwe’ s main opposition party, the MDC, tells local and foreign media of his ordeal at the hands of men he said were Zanu-PF torturers Picture: THYS DULLAART
There was more abuse, which I do not wish to talk about — except to a medical doctor’
BOTHWELL Pasipamire, a member of Zimbabwe’s opposition Movement for Democratic Change (M D C) and a town councillor, endured humiliating abuse and torture at the hands of ruthless Zanu-PF supporters — but this has not broken his fighting spirit.
Pasipamire, 30, spoke yesterday about his harrowing ordeal to a contingent of local and international journalists in Melrose, in northern Johannesburg.
The father of two’s three-day ordeal at the hands of Robert Mugabe’s soldiers began on December 14 and has left him depressed and suicidal.
His escape was made possible by members of Zanu-PF and the country’s Central Intelligence Organisation who, he says, do not subscribe to their leaders’ policies and strong-arm tactics.
The names of the people involved in his rescue cannot be disclosed for security reasons.
Pasipamire described how he was abducted from his home in Kadoma, Harare, shortly after midnight. With h is eyes burning from pepper spray, he was driven for more than two hours to what he describes as a “prison camp”.
After being put in a “small storage room with a tiny, boar ded window”, Pasipamire was interrogated by an army warrant officer.
“He was very angry. There was a steel table in the room with a hole in the middle of it,” he said.
“I was told to take off my shoes and slip head first into the hole. My hands were cuffed behind my back and he started beating the soles of my feet.”
The warrant officer questioned him about MDC members who, he said, had blown up railway stations in Harare. Pasipamire said he knew nothing about the explosions.
“He was now very angry and told me to climb out of the table and take off my clothes. I stripped to my underpants, but he shouted for me to remove them,” Pasipamire recalled.
Pausing to take a breath as he became emotional from recalling the humiliating episode , he continued: “He is a very sick man. I was then told to lie on the table — and he began playing with my private parts. He was trying to embarrass me in front of the other two who were still in the room. He would fondle me like a lover and then suddenly squeeze my testicles so hard that I cried out in pain.
“There followed more humiliating abuse, which I do not wish to talk about, except to a doctor.
“For the rest of the day, I could hear other men being tortured nearby. It was terrible to hear people screaming and crying. There was only one blanket in the room and I held it around my head to keep the sound out.”
Late that night, Pasipamire and other MDC members, who were kept in separate rooms, were woken and hosed down with cold water. He decided to co-operate with his to rturers to stay alive.
“ arrived and told us that we had to pretend to beat up a soldier. There was someone with a large video camera, the kind you see on Zimbabwe TV, who were filming. We were made to pretend we were beating and kicking him and he rolled on the ground crying.”
Pasipamire was told to read from a script that implicated MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai in the “killing of this soldier”.
“I was convinced that these people would kill me before they put my interview on TV, otherwise I was sure to tell someone it was a lie.
“I was injected twice in the buttocks but I was not told what medication I was being given.”
Fortunately, Pasipamire escaped.
“At this time, I cannot reveal any details of my escape because it will be a danger to the people who helped me.”
Pasipamire believes that the MDC, of which he has been a member for 10 years, will assist him.
The torture, humiliation and danger that he was faced with has not changed his resolve.
“I am confident that change will prevail in Zimbabwe. Change not for Mugabe, but for the people of Zimbabwe,” he said.
“I will testify in court in The Hague when Mugabe is charged with crimes against humanity.”
