Mamombe, Chimbiri bail ruling postponed

0

MDC Alliance Harare West MP Joanna Mamombe and party activist Cecilia Chimbiri will continue languishing in prison cells after their bail application was postponed to Tuesday May 4 by High Court Judge Tawanda Chitapi

The duo have been in Prison since March on charges of failing to confine themselves at home during lockdown after they held a demonstration at the Harare Magistrates’ Courts.

Chitapi postponed the ruling on the basis that the judgement is not yet ready.

Police officers last Friday forcibly removed Mamombe out of a private Harare hospital where she was admitted at receiving medical attention.


Meanwhile , the trial date for the MDC Alliance duo on other allegations has been set to May 13 2021.

According to the state, they held a protest in Warren Park in Harare last year challenging the government to help the poor who had been locked in their houses without basic needs during the national lockdown.
