津巴布韦法院以审判有缺陷和缺乏同意证据为由,向被判定犯有强奸罪的宗教领袖提供1 000美元的保释金。 Zimbabwean court grants $1,000 bail to religious leader convicted of rape, citing flawed trial and lack of consent evidence.

一个津巴布韦高等法院为宗教领袖Ishmael Chokurongerwa(又名Madzibaba Ishmael)提供了1 000美元的保释金,以审判中严重的法律缺陷为由,等待对其强奸定罪的上诉。 A Zimbabwean High Court has granted $1,000 bail to religious leader Ishmael Chokurongerwa, known as Madzibaba Ishmael, pending appeal in his rape conviction, citing serious legal flaws in the trial. Neville Wamanbo法官发现DNA证据处理有问题,申诉人的年龄前后不一致,审判法庭在结束强奸时有错误的推理是因为缺乏同意证词。 Justice Neville Wamambo found issues with DNA evidence handling, inconsistencies in the complainant’s age, and the trial court’s flawed reasoning in concluding rape occurred due to lack of consent testimony. 申诉人免除了Chokurongerwa的罪责,一份出生证明表明她已超过同意年龄,尽管其真实性有争议。 The complainant exonerated Chokurongerwa and a birth certificate suggested she was over the age of consent, though its authenticity was disputed. 法院没有注意到未经同意的性行为的直接证据,认为20年徒刑过于严厉。 The court noted no direct evidence of non-consensual sex and deemed the 20-year sentence excessively harsh. Chokurongerwa必须居住在哈拉雷,每周三次向警察报告,并出庭上诉。 Chokurongerwa must reside in Harare, report to police three times weekly, and appear for appeals.
