MDC members granted permission to apply for bail at Supreme Court

High Court judge, Justice Chinembiri Bhunu today granted the 29 MDC members facing false charges of murdering a police officer, the right to appeal for bail at the Supreme Court.

The granting of the appeal comes after Justice Bhunu denied them bail last month claiming that they were not suitable candidates.

The lawyers representing the 29 members are now working on the new bail application to be filed at the Supreme Court.

The members have been in remand prison since their indictment for trial in March.

Meanwhile, the trial of the 29 accused is expected to resume next week after Justice Bhunu makes his ruling on Friday in a separate trial that is before him.
