Seems like Pastor Evan Mawarire will have to spend another night at Chikurubhi Maximum Security Prison after the Harare High Court scheduled his bail hearing for tomorrow (Tuesday). Mawarire’s lawyers had filed a bail application at the Harare High Court this morning, and they were advised that the bail hearing has been scheduled for tomorrow.
Pastor Evan was denied bail on Friday by Magistrate Elisha Singano and advised to apply for bail at the High Court after the magistrate ruled that there is a reasonable suspicion that he committed a crime.
Mawarire was arrested at Harare International Airport on Wednesday after 6 months in exile. He was charged with subversion of a constitutionally elected government for organising protests in Zimbabwe and in New York. You can read his warned and cautioned statement on these charges here.
