The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has deployed an anti-riot unit at the Avenues Clinic in Harare to block the previously missing Dr Peter Magombeyi from leaving the hospital for South Africa to seek further medical care.
ZimEye has spoken to the family who are in distress over the matter. A LIVE program is shortly commencing.
The deployment is in contempt of High Court judge Justice Happias Zhou who ruled that Dr Magembeyi should be allowed to leave for South Africa.
Below is a short print out showing the of terms the court issued today interdicting ZRP from directly or indirectly preventing Dr Magombeyi from travelling to South Africa. It reads in part:
The respondents or any person or officer acting through them or on their behalf be and are hereby interdicted from preventing directly or indirectly, Peter Gabriel Magombeyi from leaving Zimbabwe for purposes of accessing medical services in the Republic of South Africa.
