Jailed MDC activist collapses in court
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
October 20, 2011
Rebecca Musarurwa, one of the eight MDC members in remand prison
today collapsed in court at the Harare Magistrates' Courts
and had to be rushed to hospital. The reasons of her collapsing
and her current condition are still unknown.
When she was arrested
by the police in May, she was seriously assaulted by the police
while in custody at Harare Central Police Station.
Musarurwa who
has been in remand prison for over five months, is part of 28 MDC
activists who are facing
trumped-up charges of murdering a policeman in Glen View, Harare
in May.
The 28 activists were
in court for the second day since yesterday for a ruling after applying
for refusal of further remand.
Due to Musarurwa's
health, Magistrate Donald Ndirowei was forced to postpone the ruling
to tomorrow, Friday.
Among those
in remand prison is Solomon Madzore, the MDC Youth Assembly chairperson
who was denied bail
at a separate ruling at the High Court today after Justice Hlekani
Mwayera ruled that he was a flight risk.
Others in remand prison
are; Councillor Tungamirai Madzokere of Ward 32 Glen View, Rebecca
Mafikeni, brothers Lazarus and Stanford Maengahama, Phineas Nhatarikwa
and Stanford Mangwiro.
