Activists plot demo at Harare Magistrates Courts

SEVERAL local human rights activists and civic society groups have threatened to storm the Harare Magistrates Courts today in protest against pro-democracy campaigner Makomborero Haruziviishe’s conviction.

Haruziviishe (29), an executive member of the MDC Alliance, will be sentenced today after he was convicted on charges of inciting public violence and resisting police arrest by Harare magistrate Judith Taruvinga on Wednesday last week.

But rights activists yesterday said Haruziviishe would be the first person to be convicted for public violence.
