Zimbabwe – UPDATE – Supreme court orders to drop charges against Jestina Mukoko

Front Line welcomes the Supreme court of Zimbabwe's decision to grant a permanent stay of prosecution against Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) director, Ms Jestina Mukoko. Trumped up charges of recruiting and training people for insurgency were brought against Jestina Mukoko following her abduction by state security agents in December 2008.

The president of the Supreme court declared that the state had violated Jestina Mukoko's constitutional rights in such a grave way that prosecution against her should stop.
