Zimbabwe releases opposition leader Jameson Timba and 34 others after suspended sentences.

Zimbabwean opposition leader Jameson Timba and 34 supporters were released after receiving suspended prison sentences for participating in an unlawful gathering. The court convicted them but suspended their sentences due to their status as first-time offenders. The group had been in custody for over five months, and Amnesty International criticized their detention as part of a broader repression against opposition under President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
