The court saw 98 people yesterday who took part in Monday's protest that broke the law. They must wait until April 10 to learn if they can post bail. These individuals face legal trouble because they joined a protest that authorities say tried to push out the President who was elected according to the constitution.
Harare judge Isheunesu Matova heard the cases of 95 protesters. Judge Ruth Moyo handled the other three cases separately. Police caught most of these protesters at Robert Mugabe Square. They arrested Moreblessing Nkomo, Jenifer Chimange, and Sthabile Maduve at a different location called Copa Cabana.
Prosecutor Anesu Chirenje gave written arguments to the court. The defense lawyers must respond starting today. Chirenje explained that the group started meeting at Robert Mugabe Square around 9:20 am on Monday, March 31. They later walked into Harare streets as a group.
Police arrived to control the situation. After that, the crowd began throwing rocks and placing bricks and tires along Robert Mugabe's way. Many protesters made videos and took pictures during this unauthorized event. They shared these images through Facebook, X, and WhatsApp as the protest happened.
