Zimbabwean High Court Orders Dissidents to Be Freed on Bail

AFP

   HARARE - Opposition politician Jacob Ngarivhume and award-winning
   journalist Hopewell Chin'ono were granted bail on Wednesday at their
   fourth attempt after being detained in July for calling for protests.

   In separate rulings, the High Court granted their appeals against the
   ruling of a lower court that had denied them bail, saying its judges
   had erred.

   "I remain strong," Chin'ono told reporters after his release.

   "(In prison) we have seen what we only used to hear about," he added.
   "Now we know and we can write authoritatively about those things."
