14 MDC-T supporters detained in police cells

Fourteen MDC-T supporters arrested in Chegutu over the weekend appeared in court on Tuesday, charged with hindering a police officer from carrying out her duties.The 14 were part of a group of activists who were on a bus travelling to Gweru for a constitution pub campaign launch, addressed by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai on Saturday.The activists are being held at Chegutu police cells after their application for bail pending trial was opposed by the state.
Theseactivists were aboard a bus which was stopped at a roadblock and found to be “travelling ahead of its scheduled time”, leading to the driver’s arrest.The 14 then disembarked from the bus and confronted one of the police officers, demanding the driver’s release.“
