Editors Condemn Govt's 'Bully Tactics' Following Chin'ono's Arrest


By Alois Vinga
THE Zimbabwe National Editors Forum (ZINEF) has strongly condemned the government over the recent arrest of journalist Hopewell Chin’ono describing his current incarceration as ‘bully tactics’.
The Forum said the arrests were legally baseless and meant to achieve nothing, but defaming the authorities’ reputation.
Last week, police arrested Chin’ono at his Harare home for allegedly publishing falsehoods or communicating false information prejudicial to the state.
Police also arrested senior MDC Alliance politicians, Job Sikhala and Fadzayi Mahere on the same charge. The charges emanated from a widely circulated video on social media in which a police officer is seen quarrelling amid pushing and shoving with a group of people accusing him of striking and killing a baby with a baton.
