Pastor Evan Mawarire

Zimbabwe’s High Court on Friday reserved to Tuesday next week a ruling on the bail application by activist pastor Evan Mawarire.

Mawarire is among hundreds of protesters arrested last week after violent protests broke out in the country.

His bail application was denied at the Harare magistrates courts last week, prompting him to approach the High Court for relief.

He is detained at Chikurubi Maximum Prison in the capital.

Mawarire, leader of the #This Flag, once led a national shutdown in 2016.

He is being charged with subverting the Zimbabwe government and inciting public violence after he recorded a video which went viral on social media, calling on Zimbabweans to stay at home during the three-day protest against fuel price increases. Enditem
