Opposition activist Jameson Timba has expressed deep gratitude for the unwavering support provided by Advocate Nelson Chamisa during his time of incarceration.

Timba, along with the 29 Avondale activists, was finally released on Wednesday after the Harare regime handed down suspended sentences.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Advocate Nelson Chamisa for the steadfast support he gave us during our time in detention. We are united in the people’s struggle,” said Timba.

Magistrate Collet Ncube sentenced Timba and Jaison Kautsa to two years in prison, wholly suspended for five years, on the condition that they do not commit any offence involving an illegal gathering with the intent to promote public violence.

Other Harare residents, including eight women, were sentenced to 14 months in prison, wholly suspended for five years, also on the condition that they refrain from committing offences related to illegal gatherings intended to promote public violence.
