#Zimbabwe-an prison authorities today ignored a doctor’s request that #HopewellChinono be held in isolation & should not appear in remand court pending his #COVID_19 test results. They ferried him to court regardless & the state failed to give a trial date as promised.
#HopewellChinino will appear in remand court again on Sept 14, with the state promising that it will supply a trial date then. His lawyer @DougColtart says that prison authorities lied to Hopewell claiming his doctor was there to see him & instead forced him into the prison van.
#HopewellChinono protested & repeated what his doctor had told authorities the previous day. It fell on deaf ears. He was also taken to court without having taken his medication. This is the pattern of abuse that is all to familiar since Hopewell’s arrest more than a month ago.
