Six Zimbabweans arrested last year for watching footage of the Arab Spring protests were found guilty Monday of conspiracy to commit public violence.
The men face six to 10 years in prison or a $2,000 fine when they are sentenced in a Harare court Tuesday.
They were among 46 people arrested on February 19, 2011, during an academic meeting where a video on events in Tunisia and Egypt was shown.
«I am very disappointed that they were found guilty,» defense lawyer Alec Muchadehama said after hearing the verdict.
