[Telegraph] 19 May 2008--Armed riot police prevented Harare's beleagured Anglican congregations from worshipping in their churches on Sunday in defiance of a supreme court order.
Police moved into the gardens of Anglican churches around the city from early morning and senior officers telephoned priests and warned them not to try and hold services yesterday.
Two weeks ago the usually pro government Supreme Court of Zimbabwe dismissed an application by Nolbert Kunonga, the former Bishop of Harare, to take control all Harare's 58 Anglican churches.
Mr Kunonga, who is an avid supporter of President Robert Mugabe and was given a 1600 acre white-owned farm in 2003, was sacked by the Church of the Province of Central Africa last November.
