Kidnapping/Abductions Kidnapping and abductions were also crimes that were perpetrated in the election period by Zanu (PF). Witnesses were sometimes abducted, tortured severely, and then released, mostly because it was believed that they were working for the opposition.

Zanu (PF) members would demand information on other MDC members whilst threatening or torturing the victim.

These abductions made other MDC supporters fearful since their leadership was even vulnerable to attack.
