Zimbabwean Activists Granted Bail

A Zimbabwean court has approved bail for 17 Zimbabwe opposition activists, a day after they were re-imprisoned for planning to overthrow President Robert Mugabe’s regime.

Elinor Sisulu, Director of the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition, has been quoted as saying that although the activists have been granted bail, next month’s trial will still go ahead.

The group of arrested activists includes members of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) and prominent human rights activist and director of the Zimbabwe Peace Project, Jestina Mukoko.
