Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Amalgamated Rural Teachers of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) president Obert Masaraure has been granted ZWL$50 000 bail after spending 27 days at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison.<\/p>\n

Masaraure had been jailed on charges of inciting public violence after he posted on his Twitter that the CID Law and Order department was being weaponised to paralyse ARTUZ operations.<\/p>\n

In a statement released following Masaraure\u2019s release, ARTUZ said:<\/p>\n

Finally! President @OMasaraure has been granted bail of 50 000RTGS and to report once every fortnight to CID law and order between 8 am and 4 pm.<\/p>\n

In our conscience, we maintain that freedom delayed is freedom denied. President Obert is not a criminal and therefore all charges laid against him should be dropped.<\/p>\n

High Court Judge Justice Rodgers Manyangadze ruled that the previous Judge had misdirected himself in opposing bail on account that Masaraure is a flight risk<\/p>\n

Masaraure was seeking his release from remand prison on charges of defeating and obstructing the course of justice.<\/p>\n

Justice Manyangadze ordered Masaraure to report once every fortnight to Harare Central police CID Law and Order between 8 am and 4 pm<\/p>\n
