Chin’ono To Spend Another Night In Detention
22 July 2020
Journalist Hopewell Chin’ono will spend another night in detention after Harare Magistrate postponed the ruling on his bail application to tomorrow.
Chin’ono was arrested on Monday and charged with inciting public violence.
He appeared in court today with his lawyers led by Beatrice Mtetwa raising complaints that his rights were infringed on while in police custody.
This forced the magistrate to rule that an investigation be done and submissions be made by the 27th of July.
Meanwhile, Chin’ono’s co-accused Jacob Ngarivhume is still waiting for a ruling on his bail application.
