The sentence
was passed by Beitbridge Regional Magistrate Charity Maposa after she convicted
Chiradza of undermining the authority or insulting the President.
Chiradza will
not serve a custodial sentence after he paid a US$300 fine.
He was
represented by Patrick Tererai of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights. Tererai
said they are appealing against the conviction at the High Court.
“The record of
proceedings runs to about 145 pages and while the appeal has not yet been
filed, we have 10 days from the date of judgment to do so,” said Tererai.
