A Zimbabwean court on Thursday denied prominent journalist and government critic Hopewell Chin’ono bail nearly a week after he was arrested for allegedly communicating falsehoods.
Mr Chin’ono was arrested for the third time in six months last Friday after he tweeted that a police officer had allegedly beaten an infant to death while enforcing Covid-19 regulations.
