Magaisa in a Twitter thread echoed what Chin’ono said that his arrest is political persecution when he tweeted that: ---------- Pindula is best experienced with the Android App. *Download APK here:* https://zero.pindula.co.zw/media/apps/apks/pindula23.apk _On Econet, Pindula does NOT use your data_ ---------- > PoliceZimbabwe are charging journalist Hopewell Chin’ono@daddyhope under a provision that was struck off from the statute by the Constitutional Court in 2014. In the Chimakure case, the court held that s. 31(a)(iii) of the Criminal Code was VOID. > The regime will probably say it was declared void under the old Constitution. But this would be a silly argument. Once the provision was struck off, it no longer exists. The only way it would exist is if the legislature re-enacted it. None of that happened. There’s NO offence! > It’s another demonstration of the fact that it’s political persecution packaged as a prosecution. How do the police snd prosecutors bring a charge under a non-existent law? It’s stupid, embarrassing and unprofessional but this is what happens in an authoritarian regime. Chin’ono who was arrested for the third time in 6 months was picked up at his home yesterday and he was charged with tweeted false reports after he commented on a viral story of ZRP officers allegedly fatally striking a baby strapped on its mother’s back.
