The Law Society of Zimbabwe (LSZ) condemned police’s “unwarranted” “heavy-handedness” saying lawyers should be allowed to work without interference. LSZ president Wellington Magaya told ZimLive: > I am yet to get the full details but the heavy-handedness on the part of the police is unwarranted. > A lawyer is an officer of the court and must never be arrested for doing their work. Lawyers must be allowed to operate independently and without interference. > We are also tracking another matter in which a lawyer Tendekai Hove of Hove Legal Practice was arrested for acting on his client’s instructions. The Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), whose attorneys are leading the charge against state-sponsored human rights violations, also criticized Jiti’s detention. *More: ZimLive* itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
