MDC Alliance Youth Assembly chairperson, Obey Sithole has been released on $5 000 bail by a Harare magistrate following his arrest some four weeks ago.
The young opposition politician had been arrested for alleged criminal nuisance.
In a Monday twit, the Zimbabwe lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) said, “After spending 28 days in both police & prison detention, our lawyers @obeyshava1 & Sharon Sinyoro have got @TereraiSithole released from prison on RTGS$5 000 bail & ordered to report @PoliceZimbabwe once every month.
“Sithole was arrested on 26 April & detained on charges of participating in a flash demo held on 1 April 2021.”
He was arrested after he had gone to the Harare Magistrates’ court for routine remand in another case related to his arrest for a 2020 demonstration he participated in together with some fellow party activists.

Zimbabwe journalist and documentary filmmaker Hopewell Chin’ono was vindicated by a court ruling this week, but he has two further cases hanging over his head.
After the court ruling by High Court Justice Jester Charewa on 28 April that quashed criminal proceedings against him, the acclaimed journalist appeared resolute and immediately took the fight back to the State by suing them for “wrongful arrest, detention and malicious prosecution”.
Chin’ono, a critic of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s rule, was being prosecuted on charges of “publishing or communicating false statements prejudicial to the State as defined in section 31(a)(iii) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act”, after claiming that he had tweeted that a child had been beaten to death by a police officer while on her mother’s back at a taxi rank.
