Opposition official's trial on hold in ZimbabweHARARE, Zimbabwe (CNN) -- A Zimbabwean court postponed the trial of key opposition figure Roy Bennett on Saturday to allow his lawyers time to prepare their case.
It is unclear when coffee farmer Roy Bennett will go to trial on weapons charges.
Bennett, the Movement for Democratic Change's nominee for the deputy agriculture minister post, faces charges of possessing weapons for sabotage, banditry and terrorism.
His trial had been scheduled to begin Monday at a high court in Mutare, but his defense team asked the judge for more time to prepare their case.
