A Zimbabwean High Court judge on Wednesday quashed charges of communicating falsehoods against prominent journalist Hopewell Chin’ono.
Justice Jester Charewa ruled that section 31 of the Criminal Code, which was used to charge Mr Chin ono, was no longer part of Zimbabwean law.
The judge set aside a decision by a Harare magistrate to place the journalist, who was arrested on January 9 for tweeting that a police officer had allegedly beaten an infant to death while enforcing Covid-19 lockdown regulations, on remand.
Mr Chino’no had commented on a video allegedly showing a police officer being confronted by a mother carrying the seemingly lifeless baby, which went viral on social media.
