One-Year-Old Child Subjected To Cruelty In Zimbabwean Prison
The filmmaker revealed that ever since the baby's mother has been in prison for over a month due to being part of a group of opposition supporters commemorating June 16 Youth Day in Zimbabwe, the little child has been in prison.
He said that presently, it's winter in Zimbabwe and prisoners sleep on the floor, indicating that similar fate befalls the child who is too young to experience such conditions.

According to him, it's unfair to subject the child to such cruelty due to her mother's political beliefs.
Adding that child should not be punished for the sins of the mother who has been arrested since on June 16.
"I want Africa to know that there is a one-year-old child in a Zimbabwean prison.
This child has been in prison for over a month since June 16!
Her mother was arrested on June 16 while she was part of a group of opposition supporters commemorating June 16 Youth Day.
It is winter in Zimbabwe, and prisoners sleep on the floor.
It is inhumane to subject a child to such cruelty simply because her mother is opposed to your political views!
To think that a one-year-old child is being subjected to such inhumane conditions due to her mother's political beliefs is an utter injustice.
No child should ever be punished for the perceived sins of their parents, and yet that's exactly what is happening here in Zimbabwe.
The fact that this is taking place during winter only compounds the suffering of both mother and child and the 74 other activists arrested with her.
How can we call ourselves human when we allow such atrocities to happen in the name of politics?"
