HARARE, Zimbabwe - Two Zimbabwean rights lawyers appeared in court on Tuesday on charges of preventing police from questioning their clients, two opposition members who had been allegedly abducted and tortured, sources said.

Alec Muchadehama, Coltart's and Muchineripi's lawyer, said in court that the attorneys' arrest was"unlawful." But a different police official who visited the hospital later became"dramatic" and accused the pair of obstructing justice.Coltart and Muchineripi were released on the equivalent of $100 in bail each.

The pair were then handcuffed, tasered and beaten with truncheons and"injected an unknown substance... before they dumped" naked near a river, it said.The southern Africa country last month staged disputed elections pitching CCC leader Nelson Chamisa against Emmerson Mnangagwa, whose ZANU-PF party has been in power since independence in 1980.
