The Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights have convinced the High Court to lessen the bail reporting burden on three opposition MDC youth leaders Joana Mamombe, Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova.

The trio whose life was inconvenienced through imposition of onerous bail reporting conditions of reporting 3 times a week at the Police has had the condition reduced to once a week.

Justice Mushore relaxed the bail reporting conditions after lawyers from the ZLHR asked the court to alter these taxing conditions which were keeping the trio at police stations.

The 3 were arrested in June and charged with publishing or communicating falsehoods

Prosecutors claim that the trio lied about being abducted, tortured & being held incommunicado in May, a charge which they deny.
