Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR)
March 10, 2011
High Court Judge Justice Susan Mavangira will on Friday 11 March
2011 preside over a bail application filed by lawyers representing
International
Socialist Organisation (ISO) general-coordinator Munyaradzi
Gwisai and five social justice and human rights activists.
The lawyers,
Alec Muchadehama and Marufu Mandevere filed the bail application
on Wednesday 9 March 2011 which has been set down for hearing before
Justice Mavangira on 11 March 2011 at the High Court at 9:00am.
Justice Mavangira
will also deliver a ruling on an appeal filed by the Attorney General
(AG)'s Office challenging a bail
order granted to Hon. Mwonzora and 23 Nyanga villagers.
The Judge heard
submissions from Edmore Nyazamba, a law officer from the AG's
Office and Hon. Mwonzora and the villagers' lawyers Trust
Maanda, Tawanda Zhuwarara and Jeremiah Bamu.
Earlier on,
Justice Mavangira ruled that the AG's appeal was properly
before the court after defence lawyers contested that the bail application
had not been properly filed in conformity with High Court bail rules.
