Zimbabwe: Activists charged with plotting to subvert government

Authorities in Zimbabwe have charged five human rights campaigners arrested earlier this week with plotting to overthrow the government.

Five activists accused of plotting to overthrow the government of President Emmerson Mnangagwa in Zimbabwe have appeared in a court.

They were arrested on Monday at the airport in Harare when they were returning from a foreign trip.

They have been charged with the plot to subvert a constitutional government.
