WOZA womens' trial fails to take off
Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA)
October 04, 2006

The trial of nine Women Of Zimbabwe Arise members (WOZA) failed to take off today after it emerged that the police had not submitted to court the return service (of summons). The women had been arrested on 19 June 2004 during a peaceful demonstration and were to be charged under the Miscellaneous Offences Act. It appeared that most of the accused had not been summoned to appear in court.

The prosecutor, Ms Muzondo, discharged the accused and indicated that if the police wished to proceed they would have to reissue summons and was insistent that the matter could not proceed.

WOZA will attend two more remand hearings in Harare and Bulawayo on 5 and 10 October respectively.
