Linda To Remain Behind Bars Till August
26 July 2016
Staff Reporter | Linda Masarira will remain incarcerated until 11 August after the sitting magistrate dismissed her Constitutional Court Application, on the grounds that there are no merits for success. Linda also has another outstanding matter in the courts in Mutare and her case is now being referred there.
Her lawyers led by Kudzayi Erick Kadzere had asked the Magistrate at the Mbare Court to refer her matter to the Constitutional Court, the country’s apex court, for determination of the violation of her constitutional rights as the lawyers are convinced that she was detained beyond the prescribed 48 hour period before she was brought for her initial appearance in court.
The magistrate will rule on 11 August on the application to refer to Mutare.
Linda was denied bail because she has an outstanding warranty in Mutare. More To Follow
