<p>The UK continues to monitor the ongoing detention of former MP Job Sikhala, and
notes the conviction of Jacob Ngarivhume on 27 April for inciting the public to commit
violence. The Minister of State for Africa and Development raised the trend of lengthy
pre-trial detention of government critics in Zimbabwe- and the case of Job Sikhala
specifically - with Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa when they met in the margins
of His Majesty the King's Coronation in May. Mr Sikhala received medical attention
for his recent illness on 9 October.</p>
