Zimbabwe judge faces inquiry

A ZIMBABWEAN judge who ordered police to free human rights lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa last month is being investigated for misconduct.

High court judge Charles Hungwe also granted the country’s anti-corruption commission a warrant to search the offices of three ministers from president Robert Mugabe’s Zanu-PF party.

Zanu-PF critics said the investigation was an attack on the independence of the judiciary.
