Chamisa quizz Mushohwe over continued arrest of journalists

Kuwadzana East MP, Nelson Chamisa (MDC-T) quizzed Media and Information minister Chris Mushohwe over continued arrest of journalists.

Chamisa said it infringed journalists' rights to freedom of expression as enshrined in the Constitution, adding Mushohwe should explain why they were tried in criminal courts, as opposed to civil courts, as doing so criminalised the journalism profession.

Mushohwe's curt reply was that it was not government's policy to arrest journalists, adding he was not going to comment on the arrest of the Sunday Mail journalists, as the matter was sub judice.
