Zimbabwe editor still on remand

An application by Zimbabwean newspaper editor Davison Maruziva and MDC faction leader Arthur Mutambara to be removed from remand has been refused by a magistrate. They have been charged with contempt of court over an article written by Mutambara in an April issue of The Standard, headlined "A shameful betrayal of national independence". The state claims it contained false information "likely to undermine public confidence" in the Zimbabwe police and defence forces. (Via The Standard)
