3rd Time: MDC Activists Mamombe, Chimbiri Denied Bail
MDC Alliance’s Harare West legislator, Joana Mamombe and her colleague, Cecillia Chimbiri were this Tuesday denied bail for the third time.
Mamombe and Chimbiri appeared before Harare Magistrate Vongai Muchuchuti-Guwuriro who was ruling on their fresh bail application.
The duo has been in prison since March on charges of failing to confine themselves at home during the COVID-19 lockdown after they addressed a press conference to denounce the arrest of fellow MDC Alliance members.
After the ZLHR made a second bid to get the two out of Chikurubi Maximum Prison, Magistrate Vongai Muchuchuti-Guwuriro dismissed the bail application.
MDC Alliance responded saying bail is a constitutional right and also condemned the duo’s month-long incarceration. Said the party in a statement:

The MDCA duo have been denied bail a 3rd time. The court ruled that there were no changed circumstances. This pre-trial incarceration is designed to persecute these brave women for standing up to the regime. #FreeOurHeroes
Some commentators criticised the courts for denying bail to Mamombe and Chimbiri and accused the judiciary of being captured by the ruling party.
