Zimbabwe police have dismissed claims by PM Tsvangirai's office that two of their staff members were arrested yesterday.
PM Tsvangirai's spokesperson Mr Luke Tamborinyoka issued a statement claiming two members of staff in the PM's communications department had been arrested and taken to Harare Central Police Station.
But national police spokesperson Assistant Charity Charamba said police had not arrested anyone.
"I can confirm that no one has been arrested," she said.
Mr Tamborinyoka identified those he said were arrested as Spiwe Vera and Elizabeth Banda, who are reportedly caretakers in the PM's communications office. He said lawyers were dispatched to Harare Central Police Station to attend to them.
Four people linked to MDC-T were denied bail by the magistrates courts on Wednesday. They are facing charges of impersonating the police, possessing articles for criminal use and breaching the Official Secrets Act.
