Chin’ono Bail Hearing Postponed To Thursday
29 July 2020
By A Correspondent| Journalist Hopewell Chin’ono’s bail hearing that was set for Wednesday at the High Court has been postponed to tomorrow (Thursday) due to the absence of record of proceedings from the Harare Magistrates Court, Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) has said.
Chin’ono was denied last week Friday bail at the Harare Magistrates Court forcing his lawyers led by Beatrice Mtetwa to file a High Court appeal.
The hearing for the appeal had been set for today but had to be postponed to tomorrow.
“False start to bail hearing of Hopewell Chin’ono as record of proceedings from Magistrates Court hasn’t been brought to High Court,” ZLHR said.
Chin’ono was arrested on charges of inciting public violence.
