Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>THE Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has arrested a Harare lawyer for allegedly undermining the authority of President Emmerson Mnangagwa.<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), confirmed the arrest of Kenias Shonhai this Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Harare, @PoliceZimbabwe has arrested Kenias Shonhai, a lawyer, for allegedly undermining authority of or insulting the President & undermining police authority,\u201d wrote ZLHR on X.<\/p>\n

ZLHR has despatched two of its members to represent Shonhai.<\/p>\n

In February last year, a 42-year-old Harare man appeared at the Mbare Magistrates Court charged with insulting Mnangagwa.<\/p>\n

Clapton Redi (42) pleaded not guilty when he appeared before magistrate Rangarirayi Gakanje.<\/p>\n

The nature and extent of the insult was not disclosed.<\/p>\n

Allegations are that on December 14 last year, Patrick Madiye, who is employed by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission as a senior investigation officer, parked his vehicle at Tsiga Tyres along Jack Bakasa Street, Mbare.<\/p>\n

Madiye allegedly overheard Redi talking to one Majaya, a Zanu PF ward chairman in Mbare, insulting the president.<\/p>\n

Redi was asked by Majaya why he was insulting the President.<\/p>\n

He allegedly continued to insult Mnangagwa, leading Majaya to file a police report, which resulted in his arrest.<\/p>\n

Many other disgruntled citizens have been arrested for allegedly insulting Mnangagwa.<\/p>\n
