Court Rules MDC Rally To Go Ahead
This afternoon Mr Justice Cheda heard the MDC application for the Police ban to be overturned. The hearing was in Chambers and was convened at 12.00 hrs today. The Police, the Attorney Generals department and Home Affairs all failed to pitch up and the Judge asked to have sight of proof that they had been properly served.
This we provided at 14,30 this afternoon and when the respondents had not materialised the application was heard unopposed.
Justice Cheda granted our application and has issued a final order to the Police not to interfere with the MDC celebration rally on Sunday at White City Stadium.
We are now going ahead with the rally - everything is more or less in place and we expect a crowd of 30 000. Morgan has confirmed he will be at the event and it will mark the start of his campaign for the run off which is now scheduled for the 27th June 2008.
