Student activist clocks 70 days in prison, further remanded

UNIVERSITY of Zimbabwe (UZ) student activist Alan Moyo, who has spent more than 70 days in remand prison, had his bail appeal application deferred to today after the State failed to respond to the application in time for yesterday’s bail hearing.

Moyo unsuccessfully applied for bail for the third time and a High Court judge is expected to hear his oral submissions today.

The student, who is trying his luck for the fourth time, is being represented by Obey Shava of the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights.
