By A Correspondent- Frank Chikowore and Samuel Takawira were arrested this morning at a hospital where three MDC Alliance youth leaders are currently receiving treatment and charged for trespassing.

Sources privy to developments told ZimEye that the arrest was effected on the two and they were taken to Waterfalls police station. This was despite that they had sought consent from the victims who had confirmed the interviews.

After it emerged that the duo were not trespassing, the police officers reportedly accused them of violating Lockdown regulations.

The charge also did not hold water and they were transferred to Harare Central police station where they are reportedly being charged for refusing to comply with a police officer.

Officials at the Waterfalls health institution reportedly did not comment on the matter.

They will spend the night in custody and are set to appear in court tomorrow morning.

The Young Journalists Association (YOJA) in a statement condemned the arrest and said it had adverse effects on media freedom.
