Patson Dzamara brother to the abducted human rights activist Itai gave President Mugabe and his security guards a rude awakening when he suddenly appeared near Mugabe withe a big cardboard burner demanding to know the whereabouts of his brother Itai.

The incident occurred during 18 April Zimbabwe Independence Day celebrations at National Sports Stadium in Harare.

His banner read: INDEPENDENT BUT NOT FREE…. WHERE IS MY BROTHER ITAI?

In the photos Patson is seen wearing sheds and a Zimbabwe flag which could have helped him to get closer without being noticed.

Patson was then beaten up and arrested by state security agents. He was released later and is now recovering in private hospital in Harare.

On the same day an unidentified woman staged a solo demo in front of Muabe before being thrown to the ground by security services.
