Mukoko challenges unlawful detention
Published: February 24, 2009
Harare (ZimEye) – Jailed Zimbabwe Peace Project director Jestina Mukoko has filed a constitutional application challenging her unlawful detention that has surpassed stipulated days.
Mukoko also challenged the failure by the State to arrest her kidnappers who raided her from her Norton home on December 4.
Her defence team led by Beatrice Mtetwa, confirmed that the constitutional challenge was filed at the Supreme Court.
“We have filed the constitutional application at the Supreme Court,” she said.
Mukoko has been detained despite court rulings to release her. Mukoko’s lawyers successfully applied to have the case taken to the Supreme Court where a ruling will be on whether or not the alleged abduction, torture and inhuman treatment on Mukoko violated her constitutional rights.
The Zanu-PF regime incarcerated Mukoko and 30 MDC activists for banditry and insurgency charges.
The MDC has rebutted the charges saying it was cheap propaganda.
