    The Nieman Foundation for Journalism renews its call for the immediate release of jailed journalist Hopewell Chin'ono in Zimbabwe. Hopewell was a 2010 Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. nieman.harvard.edu/news/2020/07/n…
    Hopewell Chin’ono has been denied bail and remanded in custody until 7 August by Magistrate Ngoni Nduna on the basis that he is a danger to the public because he has not yet completed his mission of inciting people to demonstrate on #31July. We will be appealing. #FreeHopewell
