A group of opposition activists who were arrested and charged with inciting public violence last week have been released on bail by Harare Magistrates Court, say Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights.
Last Wednesday, security forces opened fire on demonstrators who had gathered in Harare to protest against alleged vote-rigging in Monday's elections. Six people were killed in the violence.
An earlier effort to release the 27 MDC Alliance activists on bail had failed.
The BBC's Shingai Nyoka says no court date has yet been set and the group have maintained their innocence.
