By Own Correspondent| A Zimbabwean  court has set free seven Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Union (ZCTU) leaders including its President Peter Mutasa and Secretary-General Japhet Moyo on $50 bail.

The seven leaders namely ZCTU President
Peter Mutasa, Secretary-General Japhet Moyo, Benice Maluleke, Prescilla Jonhi, Simon Mutasa, Munashe Chirovamari and Ezekiel Matema were picked up on Thursday at the labour union’s offices and charged with disorderly conduct as defined in section 41 of the Criminal Law
(Codification and Reform) Act.

However, the ZRP later altered the charge to contravening section 37(1)(a) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act for allegedly participating in a gathering with intent to promote public violence, breaches of peace or bigotry.

They were represented by lawyers from the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights.
