#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.
