Zimbabwe Police Defy Court in Blocking Doctor's Travel

Gibbs Dube

   Defying a high court's order, Zimbabwe police on Tuesday blocked an
   activist doctor from leaving a Harare medical facility to seek care in
   South Africa.

   Attorneys for Peter Magombeyi told VOA's Zimbabwe Service that they
   were headed back to court in the capital city Tuesday evening. Earlier
   in the day, High Court Judge Happias Zhou ruled that Magombeyi,
   recovering from an alleged abduction, was entitled to leave the country
   since he is not under arrest.
