| Man held for 'insulting' Mugabe |
| 2006-08-17 |
| A Zimbabwean man is in police custody after allegedly making insulting remarks about President Robert Mugabe. Mr Muchabaiwa, director of a fuel supply firm, is expected to appear in court on Wednesday. Probably an easy job, seeing how they don't have any... He is to be charged under a law that makes it illegal to "undermine the authority of or insult the president," a police spokesman said. Wonder if the remake of "Dogs of War" is ever going to be made? I know where they could film it. "The suspect was very unco-operative, abusive and made derogatory remarks against the president of Zimbabwe," the Herald quoted police spokesman Andrew Phiri as saying. "He also faces a charge of resisting arrest," Mr Phiri told the newspaper said. People convicted under the law in question normally receive a short jail or community service sentence, or a fine. ...or are beaten to a pulp. |
