Bail judgment for the 26 postpone sine die
Movement
for Democratic Change
December
05 2012
Today, High
court judge, Justice Chinembiri Bhunu postponed the bail
ruling for the 26 MDC members indefinitely.
The defense council had applied bail for the 26 on Friday based
on changed circumstances. The high court closed normal business
for recess/holiday on Friday, which means the trial will proceed
next year. Today Justice Bhunu called for a special court session
to hear the state's side on the bail application, and as usually
state prosecutor Edmore Nyazamba challenged the application.
Bhunu said he need time to assess the arguments submitted. After
his assessment he will call for another special session for his
ruling.
We are expecting that the 26 will be granted bail since their co-accused
were given based on the same circumstances.
It remains our position that the innocent 26 are unlawfully detained
and deserve their absolute freedom so that they can be with us,
their beloved family and friends especially this festive season.
