津巴布韦副总统的前妻在因涉嫌企图谋杀丈夫受审七年后,已从羁押中获释。
The former wife of Zimbabwe's vice-president has been freed from remand after seven years while on trial for his attempted murder.
2019年,玛丽·穆拜瓦被起诉,当时她的丈夫、将军康斯坦蒂诺·奇文加指控她试图阻碍他在南非的医疗治疗。
Marry Mubaiwa was charged in 2019, after her then husband Gen Constantino Chiwenga accused her of trying to impede his medical treatment in South Africa.
据国有日报《先驱报》报道,法官在下令释放时表示,穆拜瓦在审判期间遭受了精神、身体和经济上的损害。该裁决是在国家检方要求将审判推迟一个月以联系证人后作出的。
Ordering her release, a magistrate said Mubaiwa had suffered mental, physical and financial prejudice during the trial, state-owned daily the Herald said. The ruling was made after the state asked for the trial to be postponed by a month in order to engage witnesses.
她的律师形容该裁决是来得太迟的胜利,因为审判的拖延侵犯了其当事人的权利。
Her lawyer described the ruling as a victory that had come too late, because her client's rights had been violated by the delay in the trial.
周二,这位律师在首都哈拉雷的法院外表示,如果检方发起新的审判,他们到时候再应对。
Speaking outside court in the capital Harare on Tuesday, the lawyer added that if the state moved for a new trial, they would deal with it when it happened.
穆拜瓦被指控在奇文加住院于比勒陀利亚期间试图杀害他。随后,这位副总统前往中国接受了四个月的治疗。穆拜瓦曾被羁押候审,并被拒绝保释。
Mubaiwa was accused of attempting to kill Chiwenga, while he was in hospital in Pretoria. The vice-president then went to China for four months of treatment. Mubaiwa was remanded in custody and denied bail.
据《新津巴布韦》新闻网站报道,穆拜瓦在法院外庆祝获释,并表示正义得以伸张,她为自己的律师感到骄傲。
According to the New Zimbabwe news website, Mubaiwa celebrated her release outside court, and said justice had been achieved and that she was proud of her lawyer.
