Biti granted bail

The High Court has freed MDC secretary-general Tendai Biti on $1 trillion bail. Biti was in detention since his arrest on June 12 at Harare International Airport after returning home from a two-month self-imposed exile in South Africa. He was charged with treason arising from allegations that he authored a document, The Transition Strategy, plotting to overthrow or alternatively subvert the constitutionally elected government of Zimbabwe.
