On the second count (resisting a peace officer), Haruzivishe was sentenced to 12 months of which 6 months were suspended.<\/p>\n

The MDC Alliance member and former Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU) secretary-general was convicted of the offences on Wednesday last week.<\/p>\n

After the sentencing of Haruzivishe MDC Alliance spokesperson Advocate Fadzayi Mahere told the press at Harare Magistrates court that lawyers of the accused will file an appeal. She said:<\/p>\n

We have talked to his lawyers and they will definitely file an appeal this week.<\/p>\n

We want to ensure that he gets bail pending appeal so that he spends less time incarcerated.<\/p>\n

We all know that the conviction is extremely controversial and even the reasons for a custodial sentence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
