Roy Bennett was charged with illegally possessing firearms for the purposes of trying to commit acts of insurgency, banditry and terrorism and violating the Immigration Act for trying to leave the country illegally last Friday. Bennett, who was meant to be deputy farm minister in the administration, was arrested before ministers were sworn in on Friday after entering the country from South Africa and the case raised doubts among political analysts about the new government. But a senior party official said the MDC may be reluctant to quit the new unity government formed to lead the country out of economic crisis despite Bennett's arrest. Wearing a white T-shirt and three-quarter khaki shorts, Bennett looked composed at his court appearance. The prosecution, with the consent of the defense, agreed that the charges should be changed from treason to illegal possession of firearms for insurgency, banditry or terrorism purposes and violating immigration laws. MUGABE CRITIC Bennett, a founding MDC member, is a former white farmer and legislator who was one of Mugabe's most outspoken critics. He had been living in exile in South Africa after fleeing Zimbabwe nearly three years ago because police wanted to question him in connection with the discovery of an arms cache. Foreign investors and Western donors want concrete signs of stability in Zimbabwe. They have made it clear that funds will not flow to the southern African country until a democratic government is created and economic reforms are made. A new political crisis will deepen the skepticism of Western countries whose confidence in the new administration is seen as essential for Zimbabwe's economic recovery. Mugabe and new Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai agreed last September to share power, but the deal stalled for months over the allocation of cabinet posts, stirring doubts over whether the old foes could work together. Zimbabweans face unemployment above 90 percent and prices that double every day. Half the 12 million population need food aid and a cholera epidemic has killed over 3,500 people. © Thomson Reuters 2009 All rights reserved Share: Del.icio.us Digg Mixx My Web Facebook LinkedIn Next Article: Britons on trial over "airliner bomb plot" Also on Reuters Slideshow Slideshow: Fall 2009 collections are revealed in NY Recession takes little sheen off Oscar gold Video Video: Party pets' fancy dress parade More International News Japan finance minister resigns in blow to PM Aso | Video Bottom-up approach needed in Afghanistan: report Israel engaged in covert war inside Iran: report "Killing Fields" torturer on trial in Cambodia | Video Sudan, Darfur rebels agree to hold peace talks More International News...
