Mutare - Zimbabwean Authorities released MDC official Roy Bennett from prison on Thursday, a day after the country's Supreme Court ordered his release on bail, a Reuters witness said.
Bennett, who was set to become deputy agriculture minister in the power-sharing government of President Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, was arrested on February 13 and charged with plotting terrorism in a case that created further tensions in the new unity government.
