Just hours before the US Supreme Court ruling, Tendai Biti, the Secretary-General of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), was arrested upon his return to Zimbabwe. Despite immediate attempts by his lawyers to locate him, his whereabouts remained unknown for days.
在美国最高法院做出裁决前几个小时，反对派民主变革运动秘书长彼迪在返回津巴布韦的时候被捕。尽管他的律师马上就开始寻找他，但是还是连续几天不知下落。警方拒绝了法院最初要求把彼迪交付法院的命令。
