Zimbabwe opposition MP released
A court in Zimbabwe has ordered the release of an opposition MP who had been arrested for the second time in a week on public order charges.
Authorities suspected Movement for Democratic Change lawmaker Eric Matinenga of election-related violence. The MDC says Mr Matinenga is being harassed and accuses the government of trying to sabotage its poll campaign. MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai faces incumbent Robert Mugabe in a run-off vote for the presidency on 27 June.
