"Its not a crime to demonstrate in Zimbabwe, its not a crime to petition. Its actually provided for by the constitution," Saurombe said. "So in anything that has to be done, it has to be done in those ambits of the constitution or in those constitutional provisions. And our clients were following constitutional provisions, so to say they committed a crime it would rather be absurd."
Saurombe ati: "Ntabwo ari icyaha kwigaragambya muri Zimbabwe, ntabwo gusaba icyo ushaka ari icyaha mu by'ukuri giteganywa n'itegeko nshinga." Ibintu byose bigomba gukorwa hubahirizwa itegeko nshinga cyangwa ingingo z’itegeko nshinga. Kandi abakiriya bacu bakurikizaga ibiteganywa n'itegeko nshinga, ku buryo kuvuga ko bakoze icyaha byaba ari ubuswa."
