A youth leader from the Zimbabwean prime minister's party who is charged with insulting long-ruling President Robert Mugabe was rearrested on Monday after prosecutors revoked his bail, a lawyer said.
.
Solomon Madzore, an activist from the Movement for Democratic Change is accused of calling Mugabe a limping donkey during an MDC rally in April.
.
He was first arrested last Tuesday.
.
"He had been granted $100 bail but prosecutors applied to have the bail revoked saying police still needed to complete investigations," lawyer Andrew Makoni told AFP.
.
In 2011, Madzore and other MDC activists were arrested for allegedly murdering a police officer and spent over a year in police custody.
.
The MDC said Madzore's arrest was meant to "cow the people ahead of the next elections."
.
The MDC has raised concern about the harassment of its members and rights activists ahead of polls.
