Two
NUST students released

Solidarity Trust
April 21, 2008
Two National University
of Science and Technology (NUST) students, Trevor Chizanga and Tendai
Chingoma were released today as their case crumbled due to lack
of evidence. They were being charged with Malicious Damage to Property
(MDP) following the demonstration that rocked the university last
Wednesday. The two were suppose to appear in the Bulawayo magistrate
court today but the Officer in Charge released them and said the
case will proceed by way of summons. The two were arrested together
with eight others.
The other eight
were released after they were forced to pay admission of guilty
fines on Wednesday. The eight according to their Lawyer were charged
under the Criminal
Law Codification and Reform Act for conduct likely to provoke
a breach of peace.
Students at
NUST and UZ
embarked on the demonstrations on Wednesday 16 April demanding the
immediate results of 29 March poll. Zimbabweans are aware that Morgan
Tsvangirai of the Movement for Democratic change won the elections
thus why Mugabe is refusing to release the results.
