Prominent human rights lawyer, Obey Shava was last night reportedly attacked and left with broken legs by unknown assailants last night.
Fellow legal practitioner, Thabani Mpofu confirmed the incident on Wednesday night.
“Top CCC Lawyer Obey Shava was viciously attacked this evening by four men who broke his legs and left him battling for his life.
“The safety of our citizens must be the top priority on the State’s agenda, particularly during this crazy season,” Mpofu said.
Details of the incident were still sketchy.
Shava is one of the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights attorneys who represented Citizens Coalition for Change activists, Joanna Mamombe, Cecelia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova when they were taken to court in 2020 on charges of falsifying their abduction by State security agents.
Mamombe and Chimbiri were acquitted of the charge on Tuesday.
