Justice
Uchena to hear Glenview residents' bail appeal
Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR)
November 28, 2011
High Court Judge
Justice Tendai Uchena will on Tuesday 29 November 2011 hear an application
filed by seven Glenview residents seeking leave to approach the
Supreme Court to appeal against their denial of bail in July.
Justice Uchena
will hear the matter at 10:00 hours in his chambers.
The application
for leave to appeal against the refusal of bail for the Glenview
residents was necessitated by the pronouncements made by Deputy
Chief Justice Luke Malaba early this month that such leave was necessary
in terms of the bail appeal procedures.
Justice Uchena
threw out the residents' bail application on 1 July 2011 after
ruling that they could flee from the country. The seven Glenview
residents namely, Glenview Ward 32 councillor Tungamirai Madzokere,
Rebecca Mafikeni, Phenias Nhatarikwa, Lazarus Maengahama, Stanford
Maengahama, Yvonne Musarurwa and Stanford Mangwiro have been detained
in remand prison since the time when they were arrested in May for
allegedly
murdering a police officer, Inspector Petros Mutedzi.
