Prison authorities have reportedly barred journalist Hopewell Chin’ono from receiving food from home and he is said to be surviving on biscuits and water in prison.

This was revealed by the Zimbabwe Human Rights Lawyers who are updating the nation on his bail application hearing which is being held in private after the state made an application for the hearing to be conducted in private.
