Zimbabwe: \'Biti facing death penalty\'- Zimbabwe authorities

(SomaliNet) Zimbabwe authorities have filed court papers accusing opposition number two Tendai Biti of subverting the government, adding that he faces the death penalty, an AFP journalist saw on Thursday.

A police charge sheet filed in court accuses Biti of \"subverting a constitutional government as defined in the criminal law.\"

The court file also shows prosecutors opposing bail for Biti since \"the accused is facing serious offences which attract capital punishment.\" - Sapa-AFP
