Johannesburg - A Zimbabwean rights group says two women activists have been freed after nearly six weeks in prison.

Women and Men of Zimbabwe Arise spokesperson Annie Sibanda said Jenni Williams and Magodonga Mahlangu were granted bail on Thursday.

The two were arrested in Harare on May 28 after holding a peaceful protest and had been charged with disturbing the peace and publishing statements prejudicial to the state.

Williams was honoured last year by United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice with an International Women of Courage Award.
