By A Correspondent| A High Court judge Justice Erica Ndewere has relaxed the bail conditions for 6 activists charged with plotting to overthrow a constitutionally elected government.

The six, who were arrested shortly after their arrival from the Maldives where they were attending a training workshop organised by  the Center for Non-Violence Action and Strategies (CANVAS) were charged with treason.

The activists however had their bail conditions relaxed by the High Court judge following an application by the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights.

Said the ZLHR in a statement:

High Court judge Justice Erica Ndewere has relaxed bail conditions for 6 human rights defenders George Makoni, Stabile Dewa, Rita Nyampinga, Frank Mpahlo, Gamuchirai Mukura and Tatenda Mombeyarara. The six were charged with subverting a constitutionally elected government. They will now report once a week and not once everyday at a ZRP station.”
