Police in Zimbabwe have dispersed demonstrators calling for the release of a prominent human rights lawyer, who was arrested last week on allegations of obstructing justice.
Mtetwa denies any wrongdoing and says she merely asked police officers to show her a search warrant during a raid on Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s staff offices in Harare.
