A step towards justice
MDC
Youth Assembly
February
17, 2012
Councillor Tungamirai Madzokere, brothers Lazarus and Stanford Maengahama,
Phineas Nhatarikwa, Stanford Mangwiro, Yvonne Musarurwa and Rebecca
Mafikeni they have finally tested freedom. They were granted bail
today at the Supreme Court by Deputy Chief Judge, Justice Luke Malaba.
They were granted US$500 each with councillor Madzokere granted
US$1 000 bail. The seven MDC members were arrested together with
other 27, 9 were released without charge and the other 18 were granted
bail at the High Court last year.
They were arrested
on false
charges of murdering a police officer in Glen View in May last
year at a popular beer outlet few weeks after our 3rd National Congress.
The MDC Youth
Assembly President Solomon Madzore, Jefias Moyo and Paul Rukanda
are still in remand prison and are yet to be granted bail as they
were arrested later in the year.
The MDC Youth
Assembly remains sanguine that justice will prevail and the three
will be granted bail. Their arrest is political and they deserve
their freedom. We know these are ZANU PF tactics to derail the process
of change in Zimbabwe but they will not achieve that.
