HARARE, June 17 (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's High Court on Tuesday dismissed an application for police to release Movement for Democratic Change Secretary-General Tendai Biti, who faces treason charges.
"I am not satisfied that the application has demonstrated that what he is calling continued detention is unlawful," Judge Samuel Kudya said. Biti has been held since his arrest on his return on Thursday to Zimbabwe ahead of a June 27 presidential run-off vote. (Reporting by Nelson Banya)
