By Own Correspondent| UK diplomats have revealed that they are closely following MDC Alliance principal Tendai Biti’s case engaging the Zimbabwean and Zambian authorities over his safety after he was denied political asylum in Zambia yesterday and handed over to Zimbabwean authorities.

Tweeted the UKinZimbabwe:

We continue to follow Tendai Biti’s case very closely. UK diplomats spoke to Zambian and Zimbabwean authorities overnight. We (and others) are seeking clear assurances from the Zimbabwean authorities that his safety will be guaranteed and constitutional rights fully respected
