Hon. Biti is facing trumped-up charges under the draconian Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act. Â He is being charged with treason arising from a document titled “The Transition Strategy” which he is alleged to have authored.
Hon Biti, who is also the MP for Harare East, is one of the key negotiators of the MDC in the SADC brokered dialogue.
Today, the State said it needed more time to gather more evidence on the case.
Hon. Biti was arrested at the Harare International Airport on 5 June upon returning to the country from South Africa.
More than two days into his arrest the party could not locate him, and neither could the police reveal his whereabouts, despite frantic efforts to locate him.
