Bulawayo24.com journalist Simbarashe Sithole has been arrested by Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) in Harare while doing his work.

Sithole, who is now detained at Machipisa Police station said even though he showed the police officers his press card they still arrested him for “unnecessary movement”.

He said:

They arrested me in Machipisa saying unnecessary movement even though I produced my press card.

“I was put in police cells, Human Rights Forum brought their lawyers. Now the police are still deciding whether they should detain me or if I should pay a fine,” Sithole said.
