Zimbabwe makes arrest over Facebook comment


39-year-old Vikas Mavhudzi has become Zimbabwe’s first “Facebook arrest” after posting a comment on the social network on February 13, 2011 at about 2PM, according to New Zimbabwe. He is being charged with “subverting a constitutional government” for commenting on a Facebook page allegedly belonging to Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai. Here’s his message, according to SW Radio Africa:

I am overwhelmed, I don’t want to say Mr. or PM what happened in Egypt is sending shockwaves to dictators around the world. No weapon but unity of purpose worth emulating, hey.​

The post was referring to the revolt in Egypt which succeeded in toppling dictator Muhammad Hosni Sayyid Mubarak on February 11, 2011 after 18 days of protests. Discussing uprisings against dictators in North Africa is now apparently considered a crime in Zimbabwe.

Obviously he's a colonialist stooge working for the racist former overlords who would like to see Zimbabwe collapse into what it was in the past. You know, back when it was able to feed itself and much of the rest of Africa.
