flag Former Finance Minister Tendai Biti was arrested in Mutare with several activists while organizing a rally opposing proposed constitutional changes in Zimbabwe. flag The reforms would extend the presidential term from five to seven years and shift election authority from voters to parliament, potentially allowing President Emmerson Mnangagwa to remain in power until 2030. flag Authorities have not confirmed charges or Biti’s current status, sparking concern among rights groups. flag The Constitution Defenders Forum and opposition leaders condemn the changes as undemocratic and argue they cannot retroactively benefit the sitting president. flag The arrest occurs amid rising political tensions, reports of intimidation, and growing calls for legal challenges to the proposed amendments.
