Zimbabwe accused of withholding evidence
The Zimbabwean government has failed to hand over evidence that it paid the key witness in a treason trial who has testified that the opposition leader tried to assassinate President Robert Mugabe, defence lawyers argued today.
Invoices, expense vouchers and other information submitted by Montreal-based consultant Ari Ben Menashe to the government were sought, but never provided, the defence team of opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai told the Harare High Court.
