Zimbabwean journalist Hopewell Chin’ono has been arrested again on allegations of publishing what police claim are falsehoods prejudicial to the state.
In a tweet on Friday, Chin’ono wrote, “The police have come to arrest me! Let everyone know!
They say they are charging me with communicating falsehoods for tweeting that a child had been beaten up by a police officer and died! They are taking me to the Law and Order Section at Harare Central Police Station.”
