Cecilia Chimbiri is a Zimbabwean woman abducted for two days at an anti-government protest in May 2020.

On 13 May 2020 she and two other women, including MP Joana Mamombe, were abducted by masked assailants at a Harare protest against the government's failure to provide for the poor during the COVID-19 pandemic. Two days later, the women were found, badly injured and traumatised, by the side of the road sixty miles from Harare. They reported having been tortured and repeatedly sexually assaulted.[1]
