Scales of Justice

A Zimbabwean Court on Wednesday found Activist Pastor, Evan Mawarire, not guilty of subversion.

He was found not guilty in a case that had been scrutinised as barometer of independence for the courts under new President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Activist Pastor Evan Mawarire who is facing charges of attempting to subvert the government arrives at the High Court in Harare, Zimbabwe, Nov. 29, 2017.

Mawarire has been a strident critic of former President Robert Mugabe, who was forced to resign after 37 years in power last week under pressure from the army and ruling ZANU-PF party.
