Amnesty International reaction to Cynthia Manjoro bail
Amnesty International
October 19, 2012
Noel Kututwa,
Amnesty International's southern Africa director said: "Amnesty
International welcomes yesterday's granting of bail by the High
Court in Harare for Cynthia Manjoro following over a year in custody
facing
murder charges. The testimony by a State witness, Stephen Manjoro,
exonerated Cynthia revealing that she was arrested to bait another
suspect who was her friend."
"Amnesty
International believes that some, if not all, of the 31 detainees,
are potential prisoners of conscience arrested simply because they
are MDCT activists living in Glen View. We are concerned that the
death of a police officer is being politicised and that his family
may never get justice or know the truth about how he died because
of what appears to be an attempt to politicise investigations and
the trial."
Some of the
detainees have spent over 17 months in custody.
