The 83 members After initially talking of charging them with public disorder, Law and Order officers have charged the group with obstructing traffic. They had tried to make the group pay admission of guilt fines but they refused, insisting on being taken to court. It is hoped that they will be taken to court tomorrow morning.
There is concern for the well-being of the group as conditions in Harare Central are apparently worse than they were in April. The state of the cells at that time prompted WOZA to sue the co-Ministers of Home Affairs over their filthy and inhumane state. Police also attempted to deny the group their lunch this afternoon, claiming that they could only receive the food in the presence of a lawyer. A MOZA member, Lazarus Mandondo, was also severely beaten in cells last night during a routine counting of detainees.
