'They tried to crush her spirit': Anti-Mugabe activist freed after 82 days in custody

Critics of Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe have been celebrating a court order for the release of an anti-government activist who has been in custody for nearly 12 weeks.

But there are loud questions as to why mother-of-five Linda Masarira of the Tajamuka [We are Agitated] protest movement was kept inside a maximum security prison for so long.

She was arrested on July 6 in Harare. Lawyers have been trying to get her freed ever since.
