Zimbabwe court keeps opposition leader, activists in jail • FRANCE 24 English

A Zimbabwe court sent opposition leader Jameson Timba and 65 supporters back to jail on Wednesday to await trial on charges of unlawful gathering following their arrests nearly three months ago. Police arrested the interim leader of the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) with nearly 80 people at his home in Harare on June 16 and claimed they were intending to promote public violence. Rights groups including Amnesty International say the charges are politically motivated, as FRANCE 24's Tom Canetti reports. #Zimbabwe #crackdown #activists 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X (Twitter): https://f24.my/Xen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
