MDC youth leader arrested
Harare – A youth leader of Zimbabwe's main opposition movement has been arrested on accusations of trying to unseat President Robert Mugabe's government, police said on Thursday. Nelson Chamisa, the national youth chairperson of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) turned himself in to police on Wednesday after learning that they were looking for him. "He is alleged to have been holding private meetings where subversive material was discussed," said police spokesperson Andrew Phiri. Chamisa is likely to be charged under the country's new security law, the Public Order and Security Act (POSA). "We are questioning him with a view to charging him under POSA," said Phiri. If convicted, the opposition official faces a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in jail.
