Detained Zimbabwe Peace Project director Jestina Mukoko has been released into the custody of the Avenues Clinic for medical attention in compliance with Harare Magistrate Gloria Takundwa’s ruling on 11 February 2009.
This order was granted following an application by defence lawyer Alec Muchadehama that Mukoko was in dire need of medical attention and that there already existed four different court orders to that effect which had not been complied with.
Meanwhile, another ruling before the same court to determine whether the human rights activist and former news anchor with the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation warrants her continued detention at the Avenues Clinic is scheduled for 13 February 2009.
