| Prominent Zimbabwean opposition politician and former finance minister Tendai Biti has been given a $300 (£236) fine and suspended six-month jail sentence after a magistrate found him guilty of verbal assault. | |
| The court said he had shouted at a Russian businesswoman in 2020. | |
| During the four year-long trial, witnesses testified that Biti - a top lawyer - advanced towards Tatiana Aleshina after a court hearing in 2020, and called her "stupid" and pointed a finger at her in a manner she believed was threatening. | |
| Biti denied the accusation and had argued that the charge was not valid. | |
| Biti’s lawyer Alec Muchadehama said they were extremely disappointed but not surprised by the sentence. They plan to appeal the charge and conviction. | |
