The four leaders from the Christian Alliance who were arrested last Friday were released without charge after being questioned about the activities of their organisation. The four arrested were Bishop Levy Kadenge, Reverend Chigwida, Mr. Pious Wakatama and Reverend Magaya and his wife.

They were arrested at the Snake Park 20 kilometres outside Harare after a Bulawayo meeting of the Christian Alliance leadership. Alliance coordinator Useni Sibanda told us the police questioned them about the activities of the group after reports that they were planning to form a political party. Sibanda said those reports were false and that the group was apolitical.

The police confiscated some documents which Sibanda said were public anyway and he added that the group had no reason to hide anything from the law. (Full report by Tererai Karimakwenda).
