Update on Gwisai & 5 others' bail application hearing
International Socialist Organisation (Zimbabwe)
March 11, 2011
Comrades today we attended
the hearing for the bail application at the High Court Harare -
Court 'O' before Justice Susan Mavangira. As usual our
very own comrades were represented by Alec Muchadehama and the state
was represented prosecutor Edmore Nyazamba.
The prosecutor
stood up only to seek for a postponement to Wednesday, March 16
citing that he had not filed his response because he was 'tied
up yesterday' and that the issued raised by Muchadehama in
the bail application needed investigation for example the connections
of the accused abroad and their residential addresses, properties
and passports.
Mr Muchadehama vehemently
opposed such postponement and argued that the accused were arrested
on 19 February and are still in custody, the same prosecutor was
dealing with the matter since it started and that there was no need
for such lengthy period to investigate and suggested that since
there was no response from the state, the matter be postponed to
Monday 14 March instead of Wednesday.
The prosecutor insisted
on Wednesday and made an undertaking that he will file his response
on Tuesday 15 and the hearing be on 16 March.
Justice Mavangira
upheld the arguments of the prosecutor and the matter was so postponed
to 16 March 2011 for the hearing of the Bail Application.
