Court Convicts, Fines Zimbabwe Opposition Figure
A judge in Zimbabwe has convicted an opposition politician for insulting a Russian national in 2020. The judge also fined Tendai Biti US$300 and said he could go to jail for three months if he fails to pay the amount. Tendai Ruben Mbofana, a Zimbabwe social justice advocate and writer, tells VOA’s James Butty, the verdict is an embarrassment because it is not a criminal offense under Zimbabwe law to insult someone.
