When the man’s younger brother opened the door after the soldiers threatened to break it down, he found three soldiers pointing their guns at him. He told Human Rights Watch: One of the soldiers began to beat me on the shoulders with a baton. l was dragged to the front of the house where three other men were lying on their stomachs after they had already been beaten. The leader of the soldiers asked me if l was employed. l said, “yes, l am a lorry driver.” They said, l know my crime, and must state it, already the soldiers had seen Tsvangirai’s portrait on the wall, so l confirmed that l support MDC. The soldiers said someone had informed them that me and my brothers support MDC, they had received a mobile text message indicating that we are MDC members. I did not know my assailants, but only know that they were armed and in army uniform, and drove an army truck. Two people were taken away by army, l fear for their lives. I did not make a police report, it’s a waste of time, they take no action, and otherwise they may arrest me.86 At times the violence was random and indiscriminate but nonetheless targeted at neighborhoods suspected of supporting the MDC. For example, on April 17 soldiers descended on a popular nightclub in Warren Park and beat up everyone in the night club. One of the patrons narrated his ordeal: Around 2 a.m. on Thursday 17 April 2008, a group of uniformed soldiers came into Club M5 in Westlea, Warren Park and ordered the DJ to switch off the music. All the people in the night club were ordered to surrender their mobile phones and other personal effects such as handbags and wallets, and then commanded to lie down on their tummies. 86 Human Rights Watch interview with victim, Harare, April 20, 2008. “Bullets for Each of You” 44
