at Bulawayo Central Police Station have refused to let Zimbabwe
Lawyers for Human Rights member lawyers Nikiwe Ncube of Webb, Low
and Barry Legal Practitioners and Kossam Ncube of Kossam Ncube&Partners
Legal Practitioners access to Williams and Mahlangu. The police
officers have asked the lawyers to move out of the police building,
