By A Correspondent| Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) has announced that police refused to arrest National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) leader Professor Lovemore Madhuku after he presented himself at Harare Central police station with the duo of Joana Mamombe and Cecelia Chimbiri who have since been arrested in connection with a press conference they addressed outside the Harare Magistrates Court over the detention of Makomborero Haruzivishe.

Prof Madhuku appeared in the video where Mamombe, Chimbiri and Netsai Marova together with members of the Zimbabwe National Students Union demanded the immediate release of Haruzivishe.

According to ZLHR Director Roseline Hanzi, the police told Prof Madhuku that they did not have an instruction to arrest him.

Members of ZINASU including Takudzwa Ngadziore have since been arrested in connection with the press conference.

“I am reliably informed that @ProfMadhuku appeared at Hre Central with duo, he advised @PoliceZimbabwe to arrest him too since he was at same presser that has now led to @JoanaMamombe + @ceechimbiri2. Officers refused to arrest saying they did not have instructions to arrest him,” said Hanzi.
