U.S. woman jailed for insulting Robert Mugabe free "for now"

HARARE, Zimbabwe -- A Zimbabwean court on Thursday freed "for now" an American woman charged with subversion for allegedly describing the former president on Twitter as a "sick man."



Martha O'Donovan, who grew up in New Jersey, had faced up to 20 years in prison. A magistrate removed her from remand after prosecutors failed to provide a trial date, freeing her from the charges but only temporarily.

O'Donovan's lawyer Obey Shava told The Associated Press she can still be summoned back to court if the prosecution feels it has more evidence against her. But she can get her passport back.

Any chances she’ll try to get out while the gettings good?

Time to leave.    But what was she doing there in the first place.

She was a radio host or something like that and the station ran some satire that might have been offending to Mugabe. It is something along these lines.

Come again? She is some Commie Pinko Leftist that was running around Africa on a Fulbright scholarship to peddle Marxism and music to the "mud hut people", because if some POS broad from NJ doesn't tell them how to live, who will. 

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

In that case, leave her there...

She went there specifically to Social Justice the country.

And passport or not, if she's got anything resembling a self preservation nerve in her, she'll find a car trunk to hide in that'll run her over the border.

She's too stupid for that. She is going to stick around there to get pats on the back from the "resistance" and when that shit dies down the Mugabe folks will come out of the shadows and start lighting a gasoline filled tire around her neck.

Silly leftist. Thinks she is actually free to speak her mind in a leftist country. I hope she does go to prison for it. Anybody THAT freaking stupid needs to be locked up.
