Reflections - ZimRights Exhibition - Photo story
Zimbabwe Human Rights Association (ZimRights)
March 24, 2010

Later in the evening of 23 March, Okay Machisa was released, and ZimRights filed an urgent application to the High Court demanding the return of the photographs.

Late the afternoon of 24 March, High Court Judge Kudya granted ZimRights their application, and ordered that the police return the photographs. According to Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, in the judgement Justice Kudya held that it was clear that the police seized the photographs without the consent of the possessors (ZimRights) and had no legal power to do so under any known law.

Around 6pm - with the event scheduled to begin at 5:30 - the photographs were returned, and were again hung for display.
