Bennett's story in October, 2010, an online petition demanding Mugabe and Zanu-PF to end their persecution against him has been posted. The link is as follows: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/263/justice-for-Roy-Bennett/ It will run until Dec. 24, 2010. Hon. Bennett still needs all the help we can give, as the persecution continues (his house in Harare was raided recently -3 times in 2 weeks! and they are threatening to sue him for defamation (yet another excuse to keep him 'at bay' and not sworn-in as deputy agriculture minister.) Please sign and help further by spreading the word. Share with all your contacts and ask they do the same! Thank you all. For anyone following Hon.

Sadly, Roy like so many other Zimbabwean's regardless of race, colour, sex or creed suffer persecution because they speak out against the regime who care little for those dying daily in Zimbabwe.

Isn't it time we start putting the fear of God in these bloody bastards?
