The State case against Beatrice Mtetwa
NewsDay Staff ·
INTREPID human rights lawyer Beatrice Tele Mtetwa (54) will have her destiny with justice when she strolls into one of the 21 courtrooms at the Harare Magistrates’ Courts on Monday to defend herself against allegations of “defeating or obstructing the course of justice” as defined in the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.
Mtetwa was dramatically arrested on March 17 for allegedly attempting to block the police from searching the house of a senior MDC-T official in Westgate and
private offices of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai in the capital.
Police had allegedly received information the previous day that MDC-T officials Tabani Mpofu, Warship Dumba, Felix Matsinde and Mehluli Tshuma were unlawfully compiling criminal dockets in respect of prominent government officials.
