Zim lawyers seek release of activists

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Harare – Lawyers for Zimbabwe’s opposition turned to the courts on Sunday to seek the release of more than 200 activists detained in a swoop on the headquarters of the Movement for Democratic Change.

“We are trying to get an urgent court order to be allowed access to them, for them to given food and for those who need medical attention to be examined by doctors of their own choice,” said Alec Muchadehama, one of the lawyers.

“And if they have committed an offence, for them to be formally charged and taken to court by 1500 hours tomorrow, failure of which they should be released,” he added.

Muchadehama said he was planning to lodge the application on Sunday.

Lawyers said they had not seen the 215 opposition supporters arrested on Friday in a raid on MDC offices in downtown Harare in an operation that police said was aimed at finding suspects in recent arson attacks.

The opposition said 245 people, including women and children, were rounded up during the raid. Around 30 people, mainly those with children and the elderly were later released. – Sapa-AFP
