Man held for 'insulting' Mugabe | ||
A Zimbabwean man is in police custody after allegedly making insulting remarks about President Robert Mugabe. Tichaona Muchabaiwa was arrested at the weekend at a police roadblock, the official Herald newspaper reports. Mr Muchabaiwa, director of a fuel supply firm, is expected to appear in court on Wednesday. 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. "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. | ||
