Relatives of a policeman jailed in Zimbabwe for using a toilet reserved for President Robert Mugabe are appealing for his release.
The policeman, Alois Mabhunu, was arrested last month in the city of Bulawayo after he used a special presidential toilet at a trade fair.
A police court on Wednesday ordered his imprisonment for 10 days.
Zimbabwean human rights lawyers said there was no law forbidding people from using the president's toilet. They said Mr Mabunhu should not have been arrested.
Mr Mugabe, 87, visited Bulawayo, the country's second city, for the opening of the annual Zimbabwe International Trade Fair on 6 May.
Mr Mabunhu was on duty when he was caught short and rushed to use the reserved toilet. He was arrested several days later.
According the Zimbabwe's Daily News paper, his charge sheet did not specify what laws he had breached or how he had compromised security

Hii kali hivi mavi yana tofauti kuwa ni ya raisi au ni ya malalahoi!
Thanks for the smile Chib :-)
(we are back and we missed you a lot
hugsssss from us all :-)
Mjadala hapa sio mavi; labda iwe kuhusu usalama ndio; labda pia kutoonyesha heshima ya kutosha kwa raisi.
Ndugu zake polisi huyo pamoja na wanasheria hao wa haki za binadamu labda watumie mbinu za jamaa fulani lenye jina "Chumani Maxwele". Maxwele inadaiwa baada ya kumuonyesha Zuma kidole cha katikati naye alichukuliwa hatua za kisheria.
Lakini sasa Maxwele amerudi kwanguvu! Soma hapa: http://www.themercury.co.za/zuma-motorcade-victim-sues-police-1.1065816
Hi Chib,
I hope the policeman was released.
Thanks for the info, the sooner Mugabe is no longer there the better for the people.
Love,
Herrad
Jailing simply because he used the president toilet? what if the call of nature inconvinienced him! sounds unfair unless otherwise suspected of malicious deal.
