Hospitalised and incarcerated MDC member to get a private doctor
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
July
16, 2012
High Court judge, Justice Chinembiri Bhunu has ordered that a private
medical doctor should visit Harare Central Prison hospital to check
on the health status of critically ill Gapara Nyamadzawo.
Nyamadzawo is
admitted in hospital and is part of the 29 MDC members in remand
prison facing
false charges of murdering a police officer in Glen View, Harare
last year.
The State is
opposed to Nyamadzawo seeking treatment at a private hospital.
However, Justice
Bhunu is expected to make a ruling on whether Nyamadzawo should
get outside medical treatment after getting a report from the private
medical doctor.
The trial failed
to resume today at the High Court as Nyamadzawo could not make it
to court forcing Justice Bhunu and the defence and State lawyers
to visit him in prison hospital. The defence lawyers who saw him
today in hospital said Nyamadzawo was in a critical condition and
was shivering.
A prison doctor
is checking on Nyamadzawo's condition only once a week.
Trial will only
resume after Nyamadzawo has recovered.
