The MDCs Director-General, Toendepi Shonhe, had his bail ruling on trumped-up charges of perjury reserved to tomorrow afternoon at the Harare Magistrates Court.Magistrate Jackie Munyonga made the ruling today after the State opposed bail alleging that Shonhe, who was arrested on Tuesday, was facing serious charges.
Soon after the ruling, Shonhe was whisked away to Harare Remand Prison.
Shonhe, who is being charged for perjury under Section 183 (1) of Criminal Law and Codification Reform Act, is accused of having lied under oath when he swore to an affidavit that three members of the MDC had been re-abducted by State security agents.
The three activists, Lloyd Tarumbwa, Fani Tembo and Terry Musona, had been taken by the State security agents from their homes in Banket for interviews at the Attorney Generals Office.
