Three human rights activists who were arrested on the run-up to 44th Ordinary SADC Summit of Heads State and Government have been granted US$150 bail each by the High Court.
Namatai Kwekweza, Robson Chere and Samuel Gwenzi who were represented by members of the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights have been in Remand Prison for more than a month.
The High Court said the decision by the lower court was not compelling enough to deny them bail. The bail condition is to report to the nearest police station every last Friday of the month.
The trio were accused of participating in a protest at the Harare magistrates’ court in solidarity with 78 other members of the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change who were arrested for unlawful gathering.
