\n Author Tsitsi Dangarembga, a nominee for this year\u2019s prestigious Booker Prize, was arrested Friday in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, while protesting the government.<\/p>\n

Dangarembga, 61, and one other protester were taken into a police vehicle with their placards, according to the BBC.<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwe government has outlawed protests ostensibly due to COVID-19, as opposition parties and civil society organizations railed \u201cagainst alleged government corruption and a deepening economic crisis with inflation running at more than 700%,\u201d the BBC reports.<\/p>\n

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has accused the opposition of exploiting the country\u2019s economic challenges to topple his government.<\/p>\n

Dangarembga was carrying placards calling for reforms and for the release of prominent investigative journalist Hopewell Chin\u2019ono and while being held in custody, tweeted: \u201cMay not be able to tweet for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

The day before her arrest, Dangarembga had railed against the government to the BBC saying, \u201cEvery sector is disintegrating. Health, education, the economy. I am concerned for my safety. It would be na\u00efve not to be because we have a very repressive regime and we know that they will most likely be deployed against the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is one of the grievances that the people have, that the security forces, the security service is often deployed against the people, instead of being deployed for the protection of the people,\u201d he continued.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
