One of those known to have been hanged is DANIEL MOYO (see list above and FOCUS 20, p.6). He was executed in January 1979. His brother-in-law, Mr. Sam Makari, who travelled to Salisbury from the United Kingdom on receiving news of the execution, has reported that the relatives of condemned men are under extreme pressure from the authorities to suppress any information that they possess about executions – to the extent that a father who learned of his son’s execution from his wife, the deceased’s mother, was threatened by the authorities and told that this information should not have been passed on to him.
For this reason, it is not possible to reveal the names of any other condemned men known to have been hanged. Mr. Makari spoke to the relatives of five men, executed on the same day as Daniel Moyo – all of the relatives stressed that their names could not be revealed for fear of intimidation.
