The three MDC activists arriving at the Harare magistrates court. Harare West MP, Joanna Mamombe and two female MDC Alliance activists, Netsai Marova and Cecilia Chimbiri have approached the High Court seeking bail.
The trio is facing allegations of communicating false statements prejudicial to the State after alleging abduction and torture by suspected security agents last month.
They have been languishing in prison since they were denied bail Monday by Harare magistrate Bianca Makwande on the basis that they were a flight risk.
At the High Court, the activists’ lawyer Alec Muchadehama argued the magistrate erred in denying his clients bail.
