captured judiciary system

The world is watching, how can ZimSanctions be lifted in situations like this. It makes those advocating for their removal look stupid. It defies the whole logic behind Democracy. Zimbabwe is becoming a undemocratic nation. ZimYouthsMustRise

Typical African leaders trying to stifle the voice of the people

Proven guilty..... They must respect our laws this is not America.

Nervous conditions?

Zanu PF must go

DonCorleANN The sentence was a fine of £100 or face 3 months in jail.

Why is this so called persecution so rewarding financially to those who are supposed to be victims. They find fame and fortune from it.

Why is it in Zimbabwe being arrested is a career starter. Fortunes of those that have run ins with the law turn around for the better. They become international icons and poster faces for a very financially rewarding career in the so called fight against tyranny.

Shocking, unbelievable.

EfieZethu Time has come for Zimbabweans to fight, go to war if you must. Others will die. But change will not come through the ballot.

Zanu pf

EfieZethu And that is how low Zimbabwe has become.

Because Julie is white that's why BBC talk about this

Silly lies. Their sentence was given immediately: 'no jail, fo home and stop inciting violence' Stop feeding people with lies. BBC rubbish news

Di_Lunit This is a crime in Britain too. How dare the BBC-- client journalist and media for the Human Rights Attrocity Tory Government-- pretend like Britain is better than Zimbabwe. UK just arrested people for protesting the Parasitic and Deplorable British Monarchy with signs.

Zimbabwe is worse than Mugabe times

Zanu pf

How can holding placards incite violence

Their only crime!!!

Protesters shouldn't be deprived of their HumanRights to peaceful protests. The government owes a duty to ensure that the issues raised by protesters are addressed without delay! OObasogie Zimbabwe StandUp4HumanRights InDefenceOfHumanRights OObasogie

It's funny how all of you guys react to all encourage each other to flee to other countries. What kind of stupid idea is running away is gona solve your problems.

BitiTendai Zimbabwe is a living hell. We're suffering

Zim courts are no longer fair

chidarikire they were Fined $100USD = $70 000 Zwd

tarii_ela Yoh Zimbabwe how low can you go, what are you going to take away from the people next? Will it be a right to vote?

Julian Assange exposed your lies imperialist clowns

We speak ill of our African countries, let's respect our laws. If I say my kids must be home at 6, they must be home. Why must a neighbour or a teacher tell me not to fix my child.

So it crime to protest. Calling for political reform can never incite any violence. What law is used in Zimbabwe? This can't be a real Law. You are embarassing us as Africans

Zimbabwe is not a free country. They are their own enemy. The next thing they will be blaming sanctions. So disgusting

There is definitely something wrong in Zim! Judges that do such should be jailed too.

That's what Zimbabwe does to traitors. Zimbabwe is under siege from multinational countries by way of ZDERA sanctions and by fighting such and their proxies, puppets & others you hold a placard to incite more puppets. Next time it will be custodial sentence. Watch out.

Anobviswa sei masanctions tichidai ? Uku ndookikodza nguruve yacho ka uku

if Mnangagwa cared about anyone but himself, he would step down, allow fair elections which will then result in santions lifted, giving zim a chance

I love these woman, they're fighting in their country their cruel government not these twitter cowards who mostly men fighting South Africans in their own country for rubbish.

Correction: The protest was in 2020 rather than in 2021.

How can calling for political reforms be inciting violence. Zimbabwe is ruled by rogues

When people say Ian Smith was better than edmnangagwa you can then see why if someone is arrested for simply raising placard.

simbachitando matinyarare whats ur comment on this guy's

🤦🏽‍♂️

Banana Republic with Kangaroo courts presided over by captured judiciary.Cry my beloved Zimbabwe.

They were given 5 years inside

Ok

Yessssssssss! Good news.

advocatemahere ZanuPFMustGo

That’s so misleading with the intentions of spreading falsehoods. The two stood accused of bastardizing the Republic’s POSA. No amount of fame will override the constitution and its integrity. ZLHRLawyers JSCZim

And the person found smuggling gold is now president of Zimbabwe Miners Federation 🤦🏾‍♂️

Fiba investigating after fight among Mali playersAn investigation's been launched by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) after two players from Mali were filmed fighting with each other after their team were eliminated from the Women's World Cup. This nonsense would not have happened if not the crazy withdrawal of DtigressNG from the tournament by SundayDareSD as a witch hunt for criticizing him due to poor welfare. BBCSport 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I defer in what you’ve written as the video clearly shows the girl was getting stopped from storming onto the reporting area to wipe the smile off the Serbian girl who was getting interviewed! It was not a fight but a rage stopper.
