There are reports that Zambian Security agents have handed MDC Alliance principal Tendai Biti over to Zimbabwe CID at Kariba.
Biti's plight follows scenes of the military opening fire in the streets of Zimbabwe's capital a week ago, killing six people, and growing opposition claims of harassment.
Dr Ibbo Mandaza on social media shared: "Colleagues, the latest on Biti and co: you won't believe it, but in defiance of the Court Order to have Biti appear before a judge in Lusaka today, Zambian Security have taken Biti and his comrades to the Kariba border post and handed them to Zimbabwean CID .
"Biti's lawyer, Alex Muchedehama, has this minute confirmed these disturbing developments, but adds that lawyers are attending to the matter at Kariba CID, in the hope that the beleaguered compatriots will soon be brought before court in Harare today."
