10 MDC-T supporters arrested for undermining police authority
About 10 MDC-T supporters from Chitungwiza who were on their way to attend the anniversary celebrations were arrested for undermining the police authority, the party's spokesperson said.
Douglas Mwonzora said the supporters were picked before they arrived at the venue.
He said this was a ploy by security details to intimidate people from attending the celebrations.
Lawyers representing the supporters confirmed the detention.
"They are facing charges of undermining police authority. It is reported that the driver failed to stop after being ordered to do so by traffic police. Police on patrol then followed the supporters where a misunderstanding ensued," said lawyer Chris Ndlovu.
"Likelihood is that they will go to court on Monday," added Ndlovu.
