A United States citizen charged with subversion in Zimbabwe
and accused of insulting President, Robert Mugabe as a 'selfish and sick man'
on Twitter should be freed on $1,000 bail, a judge ordered Thursday.
Martha O'Donovan also must hand over her passport and report
to police twice a week. The New Jersey native will return to court on Nov. 15.
The 25-year-old O'Donovan faces up to 20 years in prison if
convicted on the subversion charge. She also faces a charge of
undermining the authority of or insulting the president, which carries up to a
year in prison.
O'Donovan, who was arrested on Friday, has denied the
charges as 'baseless and malicious.'
