MDC organising secretary and Mkoba constituency legislator Amos Chibaya who is facing charges of contravening the public order and security act has been released on $ZW 400 bail.
Chibaya appeared before Magistrate Learnmore Mapiye and he was released on bail with stringent reporting conditions and also was asked to surrender his passport.
The matter was postponed to September 12.
Allegations are that on August 15 Chibaya was served with a prohibition notice to stop the public from demonstrating.
The court heard that, on August 16 Chibaya convened a public demonstration in defiance of the prohibition notice by the regulating Authority of Harare central police district.
It is the State’s case that Chibaya as the convener of the public demonstrations, failed to comply with the prohibition notice.
The failure arising from the point that Chibaya did not stop the public from engaging in public demonstrations when he had a legal duty to do so, the court heard.
