Harare- Police investigating the Gushungo bombing fracas have released journalist and Media Centre director, Earnest Mudzengi, who they had detained early yesterday.
In a statement the Zimbabwe lawyers for Human Rights said they “are relieved that journalist and Media Centre Director Ernest Earnest Mudzengi has just emerged out of Harare Central Police Station, where he fielded questions from police detectives over an article published on The Zimbabwe Sentinel, an online news portal.
“The story which the police detectives took interest in quoted jailed Zimbabwe People Front Party leader Owen Kuchata declaring that his political party would roll out demonstrations to compel President Robert Mugabe to step down as leader of the troubled southern African country.
“Police also questioned Mudzengi, who received legal assistance from Gift Mtisi of ZLHR, about the operations of the Media Centre and recorded a statement from him as they consider to treat him as a witness in a case in which they are reportedly investigating.”
