May 10, 2012

The two MDC members, Lovemore Chimbangu and Passmore Jaricha, who were arrested last Sunday at an MDC rally in Kambuzuma, Harare were today granted US$50 bail each at the Harare Magistrates' Courts.

They are facing false charges of assaulting a police officer at the rally which was being addressed by the MDC National Organising Secretary, Hon. Nelson Chamisa.

Armed anti-riot police officers briefly disrupted the rally on Sunday and arrested the two.

After their arrest, Chimbangu and Jaricha were seriously assaulted by three police officers at Warren Park Police Station and have had to seek medical attention on their release today.

One of the assailants has been identified as Moto from the Police Internal Security Intelligence (PISI).
