Freedom is a fundamental human right to everyone hence in Chiredzi, we have brought to an end the detention of Nelton Matanhuse, a 32 year-old resident, who had spent two nights in police and prison custody after he was arrested for inciting people to commit public violence when he allegedly criticized the demolition of vending stalls.
Matanhuse was accused of uttering comments to the effect that President Mnangagwa and one Chivhayo are inconsiderate to the suffering of the majority of people in Zimbabwe.
Matanhuse, who is represented by @Advo_Mureri of @ZLHRLawyers, was ordered to pay US$200 bail and to report at a local police station once every week. He was also ordered to continue residing at his given residential address and not to interfere with state witnesses.
