Jameson Gadzirai, Advocacy and Information Officer, Combined Harare Residents’ Association

I remember them making me lie down, face on the floor, whilst one of them pressed his foot on the back of my ankles so that the underfoot faced upwards. I felt searing pain as the baton struck against my feet. The shoes had already been removed and I was starting to feel faint. They poured water on me and used the sjamboks (whips) to hit my back and behind.
