MDC–T leader Morgan Tsvangirai was yesterday barred from visiting opposition members currently detained at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison.
Prison officials on Friday foiled Tsvangirai planned visit, ordering him to get a clearance.
Tsvangirai said he felt humiliated.
"This is obviously unlawful. It's intended to humiliate. I have come to see our people, like anybody else, and it's my constitutional right.
"What clearance am I supposed to seek? But, anyway, we will follow their process, but this is an unusual instruction with the intention of creating confrontation which is not necessary."
Tsvangirai had hoped to see MDC-T councillor Tungamirai Madzokere, Yvonne Musarurwa, Last Maengahama and Phineas Nhatarikwa, who were recently convicted for the murder of a police inspector, Petros Mutedza, at Glen View 3 shopping centre five years ago.
