Two journalists freed, three cleared by judge

controlled daily The Herald,
Chakaodza was fired for editorials criticizing attempts to
blame the country's 30,000 remaining whites for Zimbabwe's
economic collapse.
Since taking the helm of the Sunday Standard, the last of
Zimbabwe's independent newspapers, he has been arrested six
times.
Meanwhile, the Zimbabwean High Court overturned the
convictions of three other journalists for criminally
defaming the government in a report in 2000 that said it
had printed a planned new constitution before the draft was
ratified.
Judge Lawrence Kamocha, who has not yet released his
written opinion, overturned the convictions and fines of
Andrew Moyse, former editor of the Sunday Standard;
publisher Clive Wilson and reporter Chengetai Zvauya.
