Two leaders of the social justice movement, Women of Zimbabwe Arise, are being prosecuted under spurious charges of 'kidnapping and theft'. Write in their defense.

Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) was formed in 2003 to provide women with a united voice against the social, economic and human rights conditions in Zimbabwe. In September 2011, police arrested 12 members of WOZA on a peaceful march to commemorate International Day of Peace, detaining them in poor and overcrowded conditions, for periods ranging from a few hours to several days. Ten of the 12 WOZA members were released without charge, but leaders Jenni Williams and Magodonga Mahlangu face trial on charges of 'kidnapping and theft'. Write in their defense - this action will create a letter for you to print and post.
