The tweet reads: > We note with concern that Hopewell Chingono has once again been denied bail. We urge authorities to respect and not compromise the rights to freedom of speech, expression and peaceful assembly during this #COVID19 pandemic. Chin’ono was arrested for inciting public violence after he rallied members of the public to participate in anti-government protests that were slated for the 31st of July. He has since then applied for bail on numerous occasions with courts turning the applications down. Some argue that Chin’ono is being victimised for exposing grand corruption by some government officials and departments. Calls for his release have intensified lately following his continued detention. _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
