Zimbabwe: Defence evidence denied in Tsvangirai's trial
26.02.2004
Prosecutors in Zimbabwe on Tuesday rejected evidence by the defence in the treason trial of opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai, saying it simply tried to cover up a plot to assassinate President Robert Mugabe and stage a coup. In his closing arguments before the Harare High Court, prosecutor and acting attorney general Bharat Patel described the evidence by defence witnesses as "not quite clear".
