Even as Zimbabwe’s army seized power in the nation’s capital of Harare earlier this week, placing President Robert Mugabe under house arrest, the country’s national police force continued to go after dissidents who criticize the dictator, who has been in power for 37 years.
Comedian and rapper Samm Monro, co-creator of the progressive Magamba Network, announced via Twitter and Facebook that the Zimbabwe Republic Police had raided Magamba’s offices on November 14, confiscating computers and other electronic devices.
