Glenview 29 to appeal to Supreme Court
Zimbabwe Human
Rights Association (ZimRights)
July 04, 2012
The 29 GlenView
residents
facing charges of murdering a police officer, Petros Mutedza
have today been given the right to appeal for bail at the Supreme
Court.
Presiding Justice
Chinembiri Bhunu of the High Court had denied them bail last month
claiming that they failed to provide special circumstances justifying
their release as prescribed by section 117 (6) of the Criminal
Procedure and Evidence Act.
Lawyers representing
the 29 members are now working on the new bail application to be
filed at the Supreme Court.
The members
have been in remand prison since their indictment for trial in March.
Meanwhile, the
trial of the 29 accused is expected to resume next week after Justice
Bhunu makes his ruling on Friday in a separate trial that is before
him.
