We too are ZCTU!

22 July 2008

This is a photo mosaic of Lovemore Matombo and Wellington Chibebe, the President and General Secretary of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU).






































They were arrested on 8 May for speaking out about the state-sponsored violence in Zimbabwe - or as Robert Mugabe's government put it "spreading falsehoods prejudicial to the State".

Lovemore and Wellington are due to appear in court on 30 July, to defend themselves against these charges.

The mosaic is made up from the pictures of over 2,000 trade unionists from around the world, who have come together to make this public demonstration of support for the ZCTU leaders and all unionists in Zimbabwe.

Many Australian trade unionists, including AWU members, sent in their mug shots to show their solidarity with the ZCTU heroes.

To find the faces of people you know go to a searchable version of the photo montage by visiting the We are ZCTU website and leave your message of support while you're there.
