The Abduction and Trial of Jestina Mukoko (Used)

The Abduction and Trial ofJestina Mukoko describes how, still in her night clothes and in front of her teenaged son, she was bundled into an unmarked vehicle and abducted. In flashbacks interspersed with anecdotes about her childhood and family and her work at the Zimbabwe Peace Project (which seemed to be the catalyst for the state's persecution), Jestina documents what happened to her between 3 December 2008 and her first appearance in court on Christmas Eve of the same year. During her many appearances in court and continued persecution, Jestina challenged her abduction, torture and the fact that she was not protected by the law. Jestina's family also suffered in their desperation to find her; visiting government offices for assistance and getting none, searching hospitals and morgues and feeling hope and despair whenever the body of a woman was found - even visiting the much-feared Goromonzi prison.
