Latest news - trial postponed again
Lovemore and Wellington attended court on 30 July, only to be told that their trial would be postponed again, until 27 August 2008.
Unsurprisingly, the unfair bail conditions that keep them silent at this critical time for Zimbabwe will now be in force for another month.
Robert Mugabe may be hoping that the world forgets this case if it is kept quiet, so please help us keep this in the public eye by adding your support via this site, linking to it, and lobbying for the case to be dropped.
Lovemore Matombo and Wellington Chibebe are the President and General Secretary of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU). They were arrested on 8 May for speaking out about the state-sponsored violence in Zimbabwe - or as Robert Mugabe's government put it "spreading falsehoods prejudicial to the State".
Lovemore and Wellington are due to appear in court on 27 August, to defend themselves against these charges. The mosaic is made up from the pictures of over 2,000 trade unionists from around the world, who have come together to make this public demonstration of support for the ZCTU leaders and all unionists in Zimbabwe.
Please take a moment to add your voice to this growing tide of support for these brave trade unionists. Everyone can do something to help, just follow these 3 simple steps.
