Zimbabwe court stops lawyer from representing journalist
  • 4 years ago
A Zimbabwe court has barred a top rights lawyer from representing detained journalist, Hopewell Chin'ono. This after allegations that Beatrice Mtetwa ran Facebook pages critical of the justice system. Chin'ono faces charges of inciting violence for his alleged role in promoting protests against corruption in Zimbabwe. The court ruled on Tuesday that Mtetwa - an internationally acclaimed lawyer who has been at the forefront of defending Zimbabwean human rights activists - be removed. She recorded this to tell her story.
