The activists arrested by police over the past two days under spurious reasons have been remanded in custody and will appear in Court for bail hearing on Monday the 29th of August.
These include #Tajamuka and #MyZimbabwe and #NERA activists, who include Promise Mkwananzi, Gift Ostallos Siziba and 63 others.
Updating on the Court procedures this morning, lawyer and #ThisFlag campaigner Fadzai Mahere wrote;
1. The application challenging his placement on remand was dismissed. The court ruled that the threshold for the placement on remand is very low and that the mere assertion by the police that he connived with Tajamuka to burn a police car and a ZBC car were adequate to have him placed on remand. This is notwithstanding the defence on his warned and cautioned statement that he was at a conference hosted by SAPES Trust on the day in question.
