ACTION ALERT
Before we get into news about Pray the Devil Back to Hell, we would like to take a moment to ask for your help regarding the crisis in Zimbabwe.
Every voice counts in the efforts for peace building. Amidst the turmoil and atrocities arising out of the country, Jestina Mukoko, Director of the Zimbabwe Peace Project and human rights activist, was abducted at her home in the middle of the night. Wearing nothing more than her night gown, she is believed to have been taken by President Mugabe's secret police, the Central Intelligence Organization.
Let's send President Mugabe and the government of Zimbabwe a clear message that he is under our surveillance and demand the release of the peace warriors and for the democratic future of Zimbabwe.
There are several initiatives to take heed.
One is to text message Minister of Security Dydymus Mutasa to demand the activists' release. His cell phone number is
+263 11 876015.
You can also write to Ms. Isabella Matambanadzo, Programme Manager for the Open Society Initiative of Southern Africa for more information: zvinemazuva@googlemail.com
