Movement for Democratic Change Alliance youth leader, Obey Sithole, is expected to appear in court for an initial remand on criminal nuisance charges for allegedly participating in a demonstration early this month.
In a tweet, the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) said Sithole, who spent his second day in police custody on Tuesday and is represented by Obey Shava, allegedly protested in public warning the government to desist from brutalizing MDC Alliance activists.
The ZLHR, in a statement, further said some Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) officers released him from police cells yesterday morning to appear at Harare Magistrates Court “but later made a volte-face.”
