Maguwu remanded in custody again
Crisis
in Zimbabwe Coalition
July 02, 2010
Day
29
Harare magistrate,
Donald Ndirowei, today, 2 July 2010 remanded Center
for Research and Development (CRD) Director, Farai Maguwu in
custody to the 14th of July to allow the state time for further
investigations.
Delivering his judgment,
Ndirowei said that the state needs to continue with its extra territorial
investigations. This is despite the fact that Detective Inspector
Dowa admitted before the courts yesterday, 1 July that investigations
are moving at a slow pace.
Speaking to The Catalyst
after the court session, Defense Attorney, Mr. Tinoziva Bere argued
that Maguwu is being punished for bringing to the fore the state's
activities at the Chiadzwa diamond fields. Mr. Bere added that Maguwu's
continued remand in custody is a deliberate ploy by the state to
silence civil society voices ahead of The World Diamond Council
(WDC) seventh annual meeting which will be held in St. Petersburg,
Russia from the 14th to the 15th of July 2010.
