Gwisai in court today

connection with plotting to oust a constitutionally-elected Government are expected to appear in court today.
According to police sources all the necessary paper work for the suspects to be taken to court has been done. They are likely to appear in court today, the sources said yesterday. The sources could, however, not reveal the charges being levelled against Gwisai and his accomplices.
Gwisai, the general co-ordinator of the International Socialist Organisation, and his alleged accomplices were arrested over the weekend in Harare. Police recovered a video projector, two DVD discs and a laptop, which Gwisai allegedly used to show how Zimbabweans could imitate the recent chaos in Egypt and Tunisia.
Allegations against Gwisai and his accomplices arose when police received information that MDC-T and its affiliates wanted to hold meetings to organise illegal street protests. It is alleged that on Saturday Gwisai invited ISO, Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions, Zimbabwe National Students Association and the Medical Professions Allied Workers Union members to a meeting in Harare.
The theme of the meeting, police said, was: “ISO calls on workers, students and working people to support the struggle in solidarity with Egyptian and Tunisian workers”.
The illegal meeting’s agenda, it is alleged, was “Revolt in Egypt and Tunisia. What lessons can be learnt by Zimbabwe and Africa?” A video on the Egypt revolt was shown as a way of motivating them to subvert a constitutionally elected Government, police said. Among those arrested were 23 unemployed people. – CR.
