A court in Zimbabwe has ordered the re-imprisonment of senior Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) politician Roy Bennett in a development the MDC says has serious implications for the country's fragile coalition government. A judge in Mutare magistrate's court granted an application by state prosecutors for Bennett, 52, to be indicted in the High Court for alleged possession of weapons with intent to commit banditry, insurgency and terrorism. His case had been due to be heard by the Mutare court but prosecutors said it should be heard by the higher court because of the seriousness of the charges. The move saw Bennett's bail automatically revoked.
