In this 14 July Facebook video, Pastor Evan Mawarire again thanks fellow Zimbabweans for “showing the unity of our country.” He reassures people that he is safe, and asserts that everyone should be safe and never fear for abduction in Zimbabwe. An excerpt:
Once again, fellow citizens, just to say thank you for showing the unity of our country. Well done and thank you. I know there are some stories going around that I am not safe. I just wanted to reassure you that I am safe, I am okay, and my safety is in the citizens. The people who came to see me in cells, the people who came to court, that were outside, that were inside – That is the safety of every citizen. Every citizen in Zimbabwe should have that kind of support. That’s where we find our safety. I want to speak about safety – Abductions, taking people in a way against the law, should not happen in Zimbabwe. Even if you are a law breaker, you should always be treated with dignity. You should always feel safe in your home. I know a lot of people are afraid that I am not safe. I am safe, I am well looked after, because I am in the company of the citizens.
