Gwisai
and others leave remand prison as police block peace rally
Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR)
March 17, 2011
On the evening
of Thursday 17 March 2011, Munyaradzi Gwisai, Antoneta Choto, Tatenda
Mombeyarara, Eddson Chakuma, Hopewell Gumbo and Welcome Zimuto,
were eventually released from remand prison following their successful
bail application the previous afternoon.
The first to be released
was Choto, from Chikurubi Maximum Women's Prison. After a
lengthy delay, her 5 fellow detainees walked out of Harare Remand
Prison accompanied by prison guards and their lawyer, Alec Muchadehama.
Families, friends, lawyers and media practitioners were gathered
outside the gate to witness their release just short of one month
after they were initially detained.
Meanwhile, the
Officer Commanding Harare Central District, Chief Superintendent
G. Gwangava, is attempting to unlawfully and unprocedurally block
a Peace Rally set for Saturday 19 March 2011, organized by the Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC-T). Legal action is underway to ensure
the rally goes ahead as planned.
