There were skirmishes at the Harare magistrates court this morning following the sentencing of human rights defender, Makomborero Haruzivishe as police dispersed people including fellow activists who had come in solidarity and journalists conducting their duties.
A press briefing by the MDC-Alliance spokesperson, Fadzai Mahere was disrupted by the police citing COVID-19 protocols of social distancing.
The fracas started when an unidentified woman in the crowd accused an anti-riot police officer of improperly touching her while he was urging the crowd to disperse.
