The High Court ruling for bail by the 24 MDC activists who are facing trumped-up charges of murdering a police officer in Glen View, Harare has been postponed for fifth time today. Ruling has been set for tomorrow.
Lawyers representing the activists said the judge informed them that he was postponing the hearing to Friday because he was not yet through with his ruling.
The MDC condemns the continued postponement of the bail application hearing and it is nothing but a delaying tactic by the state.
So far the bail application ruling has been moved five times, with the state requesting the postponements for various reasons.
Among those in remand are, Last Maengahama, a member of the MDC National Executive Council, two Harare City councillors, Tungamirai Madzokere of Ward 32, Glen View and Oddrey Sydney Chirombe of Ward 33, Budiriro.
