Columbus Mavhunga

   HARARE - Zimbabwe's nurses and doctors on Monday took to the streets to
   protest the disappearance of the head of Zimbabwe's Hospital and
   Doctors Association, who was reportedly abducted by state security for
   leading an ongoing strike. Rights lawyers have petitioned the High
   Court to press President Emmerson Mnangagwa's government to release the
   missing doctor.

   Nurses and doctors gathered near the offices of Zimbabwean President
   Emmerson Mnangagwa, chanting songs of protest.

   "We will not listen to anyone," they chant.Protest leaders submitted a
   petition to the government, following the reported abduction of Peter
   Gabriel Mugombeyi, acting president of the Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors
   Association, over the weekend.
