Madzore bail ruling now set for next Wednesday
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
November 23, 2011
The High Court bail hearing for Solomon Madzore, the MDC Youth Assembly
chairperson was again postponed to next Wednesday in order to give
the courts and the State time to go through new evidence brought
to court by the defence counsel today.
The new evidence by the
defence counsel, shows that Madzore was not on the run, contrary
to the State's earlier claims opposing bail at the High Court
claiming that Madzore was on the run and if granted bail, he will
skip the country as he has vast contacts abroad.
However, some of the
defence counsel's evidence shows that Madzore was not on the
run but is shown addressing thousands of MDC supporters at different
rallies and other party gatherings.
After this new evidence,
Justice Maria Zimba Dube then ruled that the matter be postponed
to next Wednesday in order to give her and the State time to go
over the evidence.
Madzore was
arrested last month on trumped-up
charges of murdering a police officer in Glen View in May. He
is part of 28 other MDC activists who are facing similar charges.
Some of the activists have been granted bail but Madzore and seven
others are still in remand prison.
