URGENT APPEAL

TO: THE US STATE DEPARTMENT



My name is Charles Mutama and I am Zimbabwean national living in the United States who is concerned with the ongoing state- sponsored violence in my home country. Recently, this brutality claimed the life of one brave woman activist who attempted to rescue her colleagues from a ZANU PF torture chamber. She belonged to the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) which just won a majority in the Zimbabwean Parliament. This courageous heroin lived in Gunda Village, Makoni West in Zimbabwe and was laid to rest there.

The perpetrator of this violence is unfortunately believed to be posted at the Zimbabwean Embassy in the United States of America. He has been identified as Daniel Romeo Mutsunguma who was allegedly responsible for the shooting of a defenseless and unarmed civilian identified as Tabitha Marume.

As a survivor of torture and organized violence in Zimbabwe, I am urging you to immediately institute an investigation into the presence of Daniel Romeo Mutsunguma, a perpetrator of organized violence and torture, at the Zimbabwean Embassy in Washington DC and institute legal proceedings towards his arrest or deportation from the United States.

It is my hope that this individual will face justice for the alleged commission of this crime against humanity.
