Hopewell Chin’ono has revealed that he is still being starved by prison officials despite a court ruling pressuring the officials to make sure that he gets food as provided by law.

Chinono told his media colleagues in a short interview as he was being whisked away back to prison that he was being starved by prison officials.

“Well I’m okay but hungry. The prison is not complying with a court order which allows me to eat. No food is being brought to me,” he said.

Asked if he is still survived on biscuits and water, he replied, “Well yah.”

Chin’ono has a special diet and according to his lawyers, cannot eat food provided at the prison.

His lead attorney Beatrice Mtetwa has been barred by the courts from representing him.

He is now being represented by Advocate Taona Nyamakura who is taking instructions from his lawyers Gift Mtisi, Roselyn Hanzi and Douglas Coltart.

Bail hearing continues in camera this Friday.
