Armed police take over High Court security operations
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
June
05, 2012
Heavily armed riot police details this morning bulldozed their way
into the High Court and illegally denied entrance to hundreds of
MDC members and relatives who wanted to attend the trial of the
29 MDC activists who are facing
false murder charges.
The trial started yesterday
with the riot police firing teargas at the MDC supporters and relatives
who were outside the High Court waiting to enter the court for the
hearing.
Today, armed riot police
blocked anyone from entering Court A.
Even attempts by the
defence lawyers to intervene on the grounds that the police moves
were illegal as the trial was taking place in an open court, failed
to persuade the law enforcement agents to reverse the action.
The accused have been
in remand prison for over a year since their arrest last year in
May on false charges of murdering a police officer in Glen View,
Harare.
