The US embassy in Harare tweeted about Chin'ono's arrest, saying it was 'deeply concerned for his welfare'.
A video clip recorded at the journalist’s house showed the shattered glass door, with his lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa saying she had received “an SOS that his home had been surrounded by about eight state security agents. They broke the glass at the door and gained entry.”Chin’ono, 49, is an independent award-winning film documentalist who has previously worked for various international news organisations.
The date is the second anniversary of general elections that were tainted by accusations of fraud and were won by President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
