ZCTU leadership in ongoing court case

Lovemore Motombo President of Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) and Wellington Chibebe, General Secretary of ZCTU were due to appear in Zimbabwe's Supreme Court on 5th December, charged with spreading falsehoods prejudicial to the state. The two were arrested on the 8th May, following speeches they gave on May 1st. Since then their trial has been repeatedly postponed whilst their restrictive bail conditions have prohibited them from speaking out against the current crisis in the country.
